Congratulations to Marco Gargiulo with this image. Marco from Sorrento, Italy tells us about the image -

''I’m very happy and proud!''

''The image was taken in Caterina’s Beach in Sant’Agnello, near Sorrento (Naples). In this please often we can observe Mediterranean seahorses. We call this place “the Hyppodrome” because is common to find these little fishes. That day I was with my friend Domenico (Mimmo) Roscigno for a diving in search of Hippocampus and immediately we found this hyppo that was starting to move from the red alghe towards the water column. It was an incredible situation, that i have “catch” with my UW Camera using as background the rising sun of the early morning.''
