Honorable Mention
Magic Temple
DESCRIPTION
The "Magic Temple" photo captures the scenery of the flooded "Chun-Ya downstream" cave in Yucatan, Mexico. There is absolute darkness in the caves, and to accurately capture the space of the caves, it is necessary to use flashes both on the camera case and external flashes correctly distributed in the cave. AUTHOR
I have been a photographer for a long time and after I started diving in 2003, I took this hobby to the underwater world. So now I shoot both "above water" and "under water". I have visited different parts of the world, from warm southern oceans and seas, to geographically temperate places, to northern areas with very cold water. In recent years I have focused on photography in flooded cave systems in the Yucatan. This Mexican peninsula is home to the largest flooded cave systems in the world, hundreds of kilometres long. The world of flooded caves absolutely captivates me and compels me to capture this beauty in photographs and share it with others.
