UPY  Black & White - Highly Commended
'The shadow of the Mediterranean'
Quico Abadal

This piece is called the "L'ombra del Mediterrani" and symbolises the darkness humans have casted upon the oldest sea. Its walls and floors are rough and empty of life. Its corners hide the tears of the ocean. The shot was taken during autumn, at the entrance of "la Cova d'en Gispert", a 150m long cave situated at the Catalan coast. It was a sunny and beautiful morning with my friend Marc. Thank you my friend for posing like a champ and sharing these adventures with me.

Judge's comment: A character scales the terrain, intriguing and menacing. The image is beautiful, fun and thoughtful, typical of Quico’s inventive photography.
