UPY Wrecks - Highly Commended
'A glance of deep sea exploration'
Pier Mane
A 7.5m, 10 seater submarine is exploring the wreck of the Star Hope cruiser was sunk in 1988 on its port side on a sandy bottom at 36-40m depth. A typhoon in 2010 severed the wreck into two pieces. I timed the dive so that the small submarine would be on the same wreck, it was the first time I dove with a submarine next to me. This beautiful wreck is now home a giant Javanese moray.
Judge's comment: So very atmospheric. In particular to set up this particular image when the submarine was on the same wreck. The composition between both wreck and sub are evenly positioned. The author has captured the peak of the action with the sub looking as though it is surveying the wreck. Natural light with a slow shutter speed of 30th sec.
