Congratulations, an amazing take on the competition 'water'. This is an image that is captured beautifully, almost an abstract image in its own right. The light and colour tone has been carefully managed allowing the highlights of the waves to be perfectly balanced with the shadows of the deep water. Its wonderful to see the features of the swimmers in the pool and figures in the bottom left of the frame to add scale to the scene, so often in aerial images this is forgotten, well done on capturing such a beautiful creative image.

This image certainly has a story to tell. A clever capture from underneath the water showing the viewer the reality of the scene. Not always able to achieve so its great to see a GoPro being used here. Its incredible to see the size of the whale shark in comparison to the fishing platform, but what i enjoy out of this image is that you've captured the sense of of emotion with the viewers on the boat; their smiling faces, the intrigue here of whats going on beneath the surface. I can see how this would of left you breathless, a wonderful capture.

Water, water everywhere, make your shutter blink, water, water everywhere, show us what you think (sorry Coleridge). This is the round to embrace H2O, whether you’re photographing cool splash art, misty waterfalls and milky seas or you have something meaningful to say about this life-giving substance.
