UPY British Waters Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Coldwater garden'
Leena Roy
The Cairns of Coll are rocky outcrops at the north end of the Island of Coll in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. It was my first snorkel and I was stunned by the clarity of the water and the superb light . It was like being in an underwater garden with long bunches of thongweed reaching for the surface and pom pom like algae hanging onto them like decorations. Kelp covered the seafloor. I tried to look for a pleasing composition and thought the curve of the thongweed acted as frame for the photo.
Judge's comment: A celebration of a shallow water British environment with delicate and contrasting colours topped by a perfect composition. World class. - Peter Rowlands
