UPY 2018 Up & Coming - Highly Commended
'Whale shark and remores'
Marchione dott. Giacomo
Evening, anchored in the lagoon on the motoryacht that hosts us, lights on at the stern, suddenly a great whale shark appears from the obscurity of the seafloor, completely surrounded by remore.Immediately I take my derailment with my camera and slide slowly into water. I begin to take many photographs of this beautiful animal made even more fascinating by the remors that keep him company. It continues to swim around the boat in search of plankton, giving the impression of a large spaceship traveling with its guests.
Judge's comment: I really like the contrasts between the dark blue water and the light emanating off the remors. The compositional weight of the whale shark within the frame works very well. Also, the author has not been a slave to the aspect ratio of the image. It becomes a square format which also works well and I commend him for it. Martin Edge
