I submitted work to The Perspective Awards travel competition a month or so ago. It was judged by Jody MacDonald whose work I have admired for years. I’m honored to have won this competition with an image I took while free diving with sharks last May in Jardines de La Reina, Cuba.
Here is what Jody had to say—“Photographing underwater when a lot is going on around you is tricky, especially when you have a shark swimming right at you. I really liked this photo because the photographer is in a challenging environment with a lot of excitement and energy and yet he still managed to get a photograph that had good timing, spacing, and composition. The fact that it is in black and white makes the sharks stand out and gives emotion to the image.”
