UPY  Wrecks - Highly Commended
'WW1 wreck'

SS Carthage is one of the most well-preserved wrecks in the Mediterranean, characterised by its tall super structure and all its detail. She rests at the depth of 84m (276 feet). She was 122m long with a beam of 15,6m and a gross tonnage of 5600. She was sunk by the submarine U-21 on July 4th in 1915.

Judge's comment: What a nice wreck! We were very impressed of the kind of wreck and the ambience of that shot. A very rare horizontal shot of the photographer though, which I would love to see more of in the future. The image quality is a bit lacking (what I can see from the preview), but I guess it was very deep as well. Nicely lit by this bit of light from inside as well. Very well done.
