'Lockheed TriStar L-1011'
Alvaro Herrero (Mekan)

In truth, taking photos inside a submerged plane is truly impressive. I wanted to show the depth and size of this large aircraft, while still communicating that it is underwater. To achieve this result, I decided to use one of the cave photography techniques, known amongst photographer a the "The Butt Light" to show the silhouette of the diver (Taz), and the perspective with the seats and windows. This is one of the wreck photographs that I had the most fun taking.

Judge's comment: A graphically symmetrical composition that is highly pleasing with all the leading lines in the scene bringing us to the silhouetted diver. The expert control over light and exposure really allows all the details of this frame to contribute.
