'Two Great White Sharks cruising over seagrass beds'
Matty Smith
The conditions were perfect on this day at South Neptune Island. We had a dozen sharks swimming under the MV Rodney Fox and visibility of 30m+. The weather was calm, sunny and the ocean was mirror like. Using a slow shutter, full power strobes and a panning technique, I was able to freeze the movement of the closest shark whilst portraying the gentle movement and atmosphere of the scene in the seagrass.
Judge's comment: We’re used to seeing great white shark coming in close for bait. Yet this image is so different, so natural, of not just one, but two sharks cruising through their natural habitat.
