This curious Reef Squid is glowing with colors as it comes to take a look at the camera, it’s glittering colors pop nicely against the black water. I found this squid underneath tons of plastic and ramshackle fishing vessels while diving the polluted harbor of Ambon. It took me 3 hours to get the picture I envisioned as I had to slowly gain it’s trust and tickle it’s curiosity. To me this picture proves that, with dedication and persistence, it is possible to find natural beauty in even the most unlikely places.
