UPY British Waters Compact - Commended
'They’re back'
Colin Garrett
The mighty Barrel Jellyfish to the best of my knowledge, had not been seen around Portland since the Summer of 2015. Myself and some diving friends had waited year after year for their return, as they make in our opinion beautiful subjects to photograph. Within the first few months of 2019 the wish became reality and I sighted my first of many. Snorkeling above this beautiful creature in clear blue water I snapped and snapped away taking seemingly endless photos. Reviewing them later, for me at least, one photo truly stood out... this one.
Judge's comment: The author has made the most with this image. The water colour is ideal against the subtle orange of the barrel Jellyfish. Very clean with the hint of sunbeams towards the top. Compositionally, it sits perfectly within the four corners of the frame.
