UPY  British Waters Living Together - Highly Commended
'Freediving freedom'
Dan Bolt

On a trip to the island of Coll to try to see Basking sharks, we spent an afternoon snorkelling in the caves of Staffa island. Most famous for Fingals Cave, this shot is actually taken in the entrance to another cave just a couple of hundred metres away. The sunlight and gentle waves were creating some amazing underwater lighting, and the light/dark walls of the cave entrance gave me the perfect frame in which to put the colourful kelp and obliging freediver.

Judge's comment: Very nice atmosphere of this kelp forest, along with the sun rays and the diver. It could have been placed even higher if the free diver would have been more in a frame as well as in a better pose. Nevertheless it deserves to be awarded for sure. :-) - Tobias Friedrich
