UPY  Wrecks - Commended
'The Flying Fortress'
Peter Azman

The wreck of the B17 plane lies on 72 meters seabed near the coast of the Dalmatian island of Vis and is probably one of the best preserved aircraft wrecks from WW2. We had already dived the year before but the result had not fully satisfied us and we decided to try again. The conditions were optimal: good visibility, a close-knit team and determination. The goal was to find the right angle to take an image of the entire silhouette of the aircraft, without losing the main details and including the divers to give balance and depth to the image. Thanks to the team, everything went as planned and the final result was what we hoped for.

Judge's comment: I never tire of looking at good images of this classic aircraft wreck. It is quintessential to me, and this shot, with the well composed main divers plus the perfect pair to the right, was a welcome sight in this varied category.
