UPY 2018 Up & Coming - Highly Commended
'Colored'
Hannah Nies

I was 18 at the time I took this picture in July 2017. My Dad was teaching everybody in the world how to take good pictures underwater, but not me. So I asked him to give me theoretical lessons and input. He offered me to lend me one of his housings (he sells them) and got to go to Comodo with him to take pictures. It was my second holiday for underwater photography. A good friend of his (and now of me too) let me use her backgrounds and help me getting better, because she is an excellent underwater photographer as welI. So, I was able to take this picture.

Judge's comment: It's always good to hear of underwater photographers helping others in what can be a competitive hobby and if this is the result, co-operate more please!
