UPY  British Waters Wide Angle - Runner Up
'Scillonian reflections'
MNimmo

The waters around the Isles of Scilly, with their abundance and diversity of marine life, offer magical snorkelling and diving experiences. In particular, the transient late Spring/Summer influx of jellyfish are a wonderful sight, including the migration of the compass jellyfish. This image was taken from the waters of Great Bay, St Martins. The compass jellyfish was gently pulsating close to surface, allowing for the inclusion in the image of a section of the sky above, but also by careful positioning the camera, a partial mirror reflection of the main body of the jellyfish.

Judge's comment: A minimalistic composition that really celebrates the beauty and delicacy of gelatinous compass medusa.
