Ms Lilian Koh’s photo won first prize in the annual Siena International Photo Awards in the underwater life category.

Ms Koh, 47, a freelance underwater photographer, said: “In the beginning, it was fish-eats-fish-eats-fish. But I didn’t see until later that the grouper spat out a small whitebait fish – it was so small I didn’t even notice .” “So, for a macro underwater picture to win is a big thing because most of the time, the macro world has been kind of neglected. We need to create more awareness and let people know that all these small little critters are part of the ecosystem as well.”

She started diving in 2000 before later getting hooked on underwater photography. Earlier in her career, Ms Koh worked in the interior design and financial services sectors, but is now pursuing photography.
