UPY  Behaviour - Runner Up
'The Moment'
Eduardo Acevedo

November-December at Magdalena Bay in Baja California, are the best months to try and gets good encounters with blue marlin. However, getting strong images of these fish in wild life is very difficult because they attack the sardines and mackerels and very high speed, making it extremely difficult to capture this behaviour in a photo.

Judge's comment: This photo is all about moment, as the blue marlin pounces and the terrified school scatters. We loved that the photographer was mindful to include such a beautiful reflection in the composition, despite the briefness of the photographic opportunity.
