UPY  British Waters Living Together - Highly Commended
'Edible crab under Portencross Pier'
Mark Kirkland

The abandoned pier at Portencross can be a fabulous dive when the visibility is good, however that's a rare occurrence. An even rarer occurrence is a sunny day in Scotland. The photography gods gifted me with both during this summer bimble to around 8 meters. The high sun created some nice textures, beams of light and shades of blue to frame this edible crab against.

Judge's comment: A good example of the juxtaposition between healthy marine life on a manmade structure and the impressive visiting marine life lifted by the celebratory sunburst.
