UPY 2019 British Waters Compact - Commended
'Rock Pool Reflections - Low Tide'
Elizabeth Sanderson

I took this image on a cold winter’s day when the tide was close to its lowest. I wanted to capture the beauty of what lies just beneath the surface. This image asks the viewer to take a moment and look closer, to see the diversity of life, shapes and colours in a simple rock pool on the east coast of Scotland. I especially enjoy experimenting with images taken close to the surface that give unexpected reflections, adding another layer of complexity.

Judge's comment: Abstract images can be very devisive and this one took a while for all the judges to get on board but we did. There are images everywhere, in any depth and at any time of the year.
