“E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”
This otherworldly winner of the Compact Macro category was taken by Eunhee Cho in the Philippines. It shows a species of shrimp looking out from inside a sea squirt, a tube-like animal that is usually permanently stuck to a surface. Squirts tend to feed on very small plankton and debris, and relatively larger animals like shrimps will often use them a safe hiding spot.
