UPY 2016 British Waters Wide Angle - Commended
'Pike in quarry'
Trevor Rees
Each winter when the water is cold, the visibility is often at its best and so I always try to get out and photograph these impressive fish. Pike (Esox lucius) are a top freshwater predator and a popular sight at a number of UK lakes and quarries. Stoney Cove in Leicestershire in England is a reliable place to see big specimens and even on a busy Saturday morning with hoards of divers stirring up the underwater visibility I usually manage to find a quiet corner to see how close I can get to them. The background scene in these quarries is often rather unexciting but I liked the huge triangular lump of rock as a backdrop to this pike.
