UPY Behaviour - Highly Commended
'Mahi Mahi Madness'
Wojciech Dopierala
The Mexican Sardine Run is a very exciting event. This year due to high water temperature it was dominated by furious Mahi Mahi hunting sardines in very frantic and brutal way. After some nice wide angle images I was trying to get a more detailed shot. I saw this big bull striking towards the bait ball I anticipated his trajectory, got myself in place with very quick dive and hoped for the best. And it was my lucky day!
Judge's comment: Often the best images of an event are not the most obvious. Despite being surrounded by action the decision here to single out on individual has produced a stand out photograph. We love the action, but equally the background of silhouetted mahi mahi lined up to be the next predator ratchets up the drama.
