UPY Black and white - Highly Commended
'Floating Mountains'
Martin Broen
This shot was taken inside an underwater chamber with an air dome It takes advantage of the lack of light above the still water surface which creates a mirror effect that makes the stalactites coming from the ceiling feel like suspended in mid-air, and acts as multiplier of the 3 light sources in the pitch-black environment, creating an alien-like landscape.
Judge's comment: Craggy speleothems silhouetted by backlighting define this frame and work brilliantly in monochrome. The diver provides a focal point in the composition, leading the eye through the frame. - Alex Mustard
