Wildlife: Honorable Mention 2020 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The pandemic has kept most of us fairly grounded this year, a change of pace that prompted me to revisit images from trips past. Considering the backwards feel of 2020, I chose to invert one of my favorite photos of a bigfin reef squid I spotted on a night dive in the Philippines.
