UPY 2019 Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Eclipse'
Edwar Herreño
From August to November, Cow nose or Golden Rays congregate in large numbers in Costa Rican Pacific waters. I was looking for this picture for years and after several weeks searching for this super group of rays and with the help of some Marine Biologist friends, I spotted a good place using my drone. When they came on top of me, I was shock and forgot that I had a camera in my hands so It took me few seconds to start and take pictures. All the hard work for this encounter was totally worth it!
Judge's comment: Mass aggregations of any marine life are spectacular but this is a particularly impressive, well lit composition lifted by the jacks top and bottom left.
