UPY British Waters Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Common Frog Resting on Trucks'
Ian Wade
Just down the road from where I live is a brook which runs parallel to a pond. I had been looking to use my camera to photograph the water just above the surface when I spotted a frog swimming towards an object to rest on. I grabbed my underwater housing and put my camera inside and moved towards to object. On closure inspection, the frog was resting on a rusted old skateboard truck! I wanted to photograph the frog split-level and also show the trucks and a beautiful environment. The frog stayed on the trucks for an hour enabling me to capture an arrangement of images.
Judge's comment: This is a fantastic photograph, telling revealing tales from British rivers. We love the shallow depth of field that is generally underexploited in underwater photography.
