UPY British Waters Compact - Highly Commended
'Underwater sunset'
James Lynott
The Falls of Lora has a bit of a reputation of being a bit of a scary dive and given that that tide races through creating upwells, whirlpools, and standing waves, you can understand why but done at the right time it is an excellent site and somewhere I love to dive. This dive with Dive Oban & Argyll was on LW slack meaning the falls were flooded with the dark orange/golden water of Loch Etive which, when I looked up, caused an eerie glow around the sun. Part way through the dive I decided I wanted to try and capture something together with the unusual water colour, there were lots of shore crabs clinging to the gully walls and this one happened to be in the perfect spot to get the sun in frame behind it.
Judge's comment: A well balanced wide angle shot, packed with life and completed with a tannin rich water colour, which is part and parcel of British diving on some sites. Great scene.
