Gorgeous shot.
In Swedish the lionfish is known as "dragonfish" and your shot really makes the Swedish name fit perfectly.
Congrats on the award!

Location
This shot ‘Lion at dusk’ was shot in Dahab EgyptTime
This was shot just before Dusk 16.00Lighting
I asked if we could dive at dusk, they thought I was mad. Its not common practice to dive after dark here. In south Sinai the Sun goes behind the mountains as it sets, at this time the light in the shallows is fantastic and the reef comes to life.Equipment
