UPY Wide Angle - Commended
'Under the sunset'
David Gallardo
During 2020 the Turks & Caicos Islands had a very strict lockdown; for a few months no one was allowed to travel into or out of the islands. We had empty tropical beaches and no one snorkeling on the island coral reefs, that is when I decided to spent a lot of my time photographing this quietness. During this time I spent a lot of time photographing a very friendly Green Sea turtle, I spent so many hours with this turtle that I was able to get her trust and capture some pretty cool split photos. One afternoon when the water was flat calm I decided to try to try to get a sunset split photo with this turtle and that is when I captured this beautiful image.
Judge's comment: Superb split shot with a fantastic sunset in the background! The photographer got the exact moment of the breathing turtle and very nice light. Very well done. - Tobias Friedrich
