UPY 2019 Wide Angle - Commended
'West Coast Flowers'
Geo Cloete
Each year during the early spring, the normally barren looking West Coast landscape of South Africa undergoes a magnificent transformation as millions of wildflowers bloom and decorates the landscape in a kaleidoscope of colours as far as the eye can see.
When I stumbled upon this scene of Sandy anemones (Aulactinia reynaudi) whilst exploring the West Coast coastline, it immediately reminded me of the yearly flower season of the region. Only in this instance nature treats us to this beautiful display year round and a wonderful reason to appreciate and give recognition to the wonders of our coastline much more.
In order to capture as wide a field of view as possible, I relied on my trusty fisheye lens and applied a lens correction function.
Judge's comment: A beautiful and delicate Under/Over split image. Evenly lit across the frame as the cloudy brooding sky sets against a backstop of the land. These layers direct the eye of the viewer back and forth again and again through the image.
