Tweede plaats
Fotograaf: Marchione Giacome, Italy
Locatie: Moalboal, Cebu Island, Philippines

Derde plaats
Fotograaf: Kevin De Vree, België

As light pierces through the trees, mystical sunbeams surround a brightly colored gorgonian sea fan, creating a magical, surreal underwater forest, teeming with life and color. The photo highlights the beauty and importance of coral reefs as the underwater forests of our planet.
