“Bigfin Reef Squid," Waigeo Island, Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia, by Jim Chen, Taoyuan, Taiwan. This image was the NBP Winner in the Oceans category.

Says Chen: “Squid are active at night, especially when searching for food. While floating around, they wiggle their tentacles as if going through a vortex. Squid are also able to brighten or darken the color of their body, as seen when illuminated by a night-diver’s light.”

I’ll finish off this gallery with a couple of landscape winners which, while stunning, I didn’t find as fascinating as the wildlife, bird and polar categories.
