UPY Marelux Wide Angle - Commended
'Brought by the current'
Masayuki Agawa
The warm current around Japan (the Kuroshio) changed its course a few years ago and has been sending huge schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks to Mikomoto island. It is now part of my yearly routine to go there and meet my friends old and new. And to improve my photo skills to better capture their lives. The perturbation of the Kuroshio is now at a record duration, and nobody knows when it will end. It is not a positive change to everyone, but I cannot help hoping it lasts for much longer. It has been such a great experience growing up together in the current.
Judge's comment: Very nice composition and moment of schooling hammerheads! Excellent diagonal and perfect amount of animals to frame them into one image. If there would have been a bit more strobe light on the closer hammerhead this image could have placed even better.
