UPY Marelux Wide Angle - Third
'Sky full of rays'
Rafael Fernandez Caballero
The most similar sensation to seeing a sky full of birds when underwater is undoubtedly be the feeling of being below a large mobula aggregation of the Sea of Cortez. This incredible show of nature occurs during spring time and offers amazing moments, such as this one. I dived down, holding my breath and waited until hundreds of rays unexpectedly passed over my head. Such moments are so amazing that you can almost forgets to go up to breathe.
Judge's comment: There are a lot of images out there from Mexico of schooling Mobulas which are excellent. But this image is from the perspective you actually want to be in: right in the middle of the school. What a moment and a great capture from the photographer.
