UPY  British Waters Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Sunny sunstar'
Dan Bolt

Having dived the Scottish highlands for over a decade its always exciting to discover new sites, and this was no exception. It offered classic cold-water reef life in abundance, with all the colours and textures I have come to love about these cooler climes. Happily the reef is on the right side of the Loch to be able to make use of the early spring sunshine by shooting up into the gorgeous, green tinged water.

Judge's comment: The beauty, colours and vitality of British Seas at their best. This composition has a fabulous sense of depth in the composition, from the tips of the starfish’s arms reaching out towards the lens, to the kelp fronds in the background, it has a tremendous three dimensional feeling.
