UPY  British Waters Wide Angle - Commended
'Above the Rain Forest'
Dave Peake

Renney Rocks are in the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park , Devon UK. It is a favourite area of mine to go snorkelling with colourful reefs and scenery. During May 2024 a period of stunning visibility allowed a great day of snorkelling with Buddy Pete Rustage. I took my I phone in a DiveVolk housing with a wide angle lens. This particular area of reef looked really beautiful. I set the phone to 'Pano' mode and swept from left to right resulting in this panoramic image which I think provides about the maximum wide angle view for the UK. I was impressed with the Phone and Housing.

Judge's comment: A stunning scene that truly exploits the unique capabilities of a smart phone in a housing to produce an inventive and expansive shot from British Waters. We're impressed too!
