UPY  Marelux Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Viva México'
Fan Ping

This photo was taken two days before Mexico national day, when it usually rains a lot at this time of year in Quintana Roo. The Brownish tannic water layer is a result of the continuous rain, happens once a year at cenote Car Wash, and it looks just like the national flag of Mexico from the inside of the cavern. Such a special event could only occur in this beautiful country. HDR was used to recreate the true atmosphere when diving in here.

Judge's comment: Perfect composition and excellent image quality from the photographer. Capturing such a special moment is not easy but the execution was marvelous! Very nice diagonals of the trees are leading to the diver in the middle of the image and making the photo so good.
