UPY  Black & White - Highly Commended
'Suspended'
James Ferrara

We were off the coast in Grand Cayman, on a massive drop off, doing some line diving training (freediving). Once the session was over, Mark Tilley, was having fun blowing bubble rings at about 40ft deep. The way the bubbles and Mark danced through the water was a thing of beauty. I grabbed my camera and dove down as he strung together 4 perfect rings, allowing me to capture this moment of him suspended in space.

Judge's comment: In any category you have to be different to stand out from the crowd. This shot, even in colour, would have been different but it is the decision to deliver it in black and white that makes it even more appealing. Graphically simple, perfectly composed and the right decision.
