UPY British Waters Living Together - Winner
'A peaceful coexistence'
Lewis Michael Jefferies
In the summer months Jelly fish frequent the British isles in larger numbers, thought to be attracted by the warmer waters. The summer of 2021 was no exception and there were huge numbers of these Compass jellyfish in Falmouth Bay. It was a perfect summers evening - clear and calm with hardly a breath of wind. We grabbed the paddle board and camera and headed to the beach in search of jellyfish. I had a sunset shot like this - loosely - in mind and fortunately all the elements lined up to create something quite memorable.
I hope my image can inspire others to explore and appreciate the wonders that are found right in our backyard, in British waters.
Judge's comment: This image truly reflects the spirit of this category. It's also perfectly executed with the right moment when the lens beam is just behind the SUP paddler. Very well done and for me from the beginning I saw this image as the favorite winner for this category. - Tobias Friedrich
