Winnaar
Fotograaf: Nur Tucker, UK
Locatie: Los Islotes, La Paz, Mexico
I spent a week in Los Islotes photographing lively and playful sea lions. This shot, which is taken in natural light, shows is a pup playing in a cave.
Tweede plaats
Fotograaf: Marchione Giacome, Italy
Locatie: Moalboal, Cebu Island, Philippines
The reefs of this area are inhabited by thousands of sardines that form immense shoals, large enough to obscure the sun, much like clouds during a thunderstorm. This impressive spectacle offered by Mother Nature leaves the observer speechless.
Derde plaats
Fotograaf: Kevin De Vree, België
Locatie: Dampier Strait, West Papua, Indonesië
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.
