UPY 2018 Compact - Commended
'Manta Frenzy'
Ali Shujau
On the day after a full moon in July 2017, we got lucky with about 80 manta rays converging on the plankton-rich Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll, Maldives. Personally for me, it was challenging to get a good composition with multiple mantas in the frame whilst balancing the ambient light cast from the sun through the rough-weather choppy seas at the bay, all the time fighting against the surface currents and trying not to get too overwhelmed by the mesmerising beauty portrayed by these beautiful creatures.
Judge's comment: An amazing scene and a fabulous capture with any camera.
