***December Photo Competition - Symbiosis***

[copperband]

Thank to all those that could be bothered to vote in last months competition and more importantly those that voted for mine

This months theme is 'Symbiosis'.
The symbiotic relationship may be categorized as being mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal in nature. So that should cover a wide range of underwater photographs from hard coral, Remoras and their hosts, cleaner fish/crustaceans at a cleaning station to two different species sharing a home in the sea bed.

Here's an example of the most obvious and I look forward to seeing the other entries.



The competition closes on December the 31st and the final ten will be put to the vote when I'm sober enough to focus on the screen

Good luck!
