UPY  Award Winners - Most Promising British Underwater Photographer of the Year 2022
'Diamonds and Rust'
Paul Pettitt

This picture was taken on a bright afternoon when I knew the sun would be on the west side of the Pier. The Sea Gooseberries had been around for a while and on this particular day the water was like glass. I floated in the spot I wanted and waited for them to slowly drift by. The background colours represent the rust and weed growth on a metal cross beam.

Judge's comment: Images like this leap out despite being subtle. The colours are celebratory and the subject perfectly placed to produce a stand out image in this category. - Peter Rowlands
