UPY 2019 British Waters Compact - Runner Up
'Split Level Frog Spawning'
Ian Michael Wade
Heading back to my favourite spawning site each year is a photography highlight in my calendar. On this occasion, I really struggled to find frogs spawning! After an hour or so carefully searching I spotted these two common frogs in amplexus just under the surface. I wanted to capture this behaviour in a split level photo. Using a compact for split level photography is really tricky, it took a few shots to capture the image I was after. I am excited to be heading back this year in search of frogs and toads!
Judge's comment: It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you do with it. The split may have been elusive but well worth the effort. This is a deceptively subtle excellent delivery.
