UPY Save our Seas Foundation Marine Conservation - Commended
'Plastic Everywhere'
Xavier Mas Ferrà
Strong storms are becoming more and more common in the Balearic Islands due to climate change. The waves deposit a large amount of plastic on the beach. This image shows the scene I found in Cala Tarida, a beach in Ibiza. I went to this beach to photograph the storm at dawn. When the sun came up I saw that the sand was full of plastics and microplastics.
Judge's comment: A very simplistic approach of an "ordinary" subject but very well executed. It shows immediately what is it about and has an excellent composition at the same time.
