In the nomination “Animal portraits” the photographer couple Nikol and Lena Remy won with the work “Black fish-frog”. The pictured species of fish is indeed called a “frog” and lives in Australia.

I knew that this black fish lives in a reef where I regularly dive, and I wanted to create a portrait that would emphasize character of this predator lurking in ambush, said Nikolay.
