Freediver at one with a pod of Atlantic spotted dolphin.
I shot this in bright light conditions with the sun reflecting and bouncing off the water, shape-shifting the sandy bottom. The action was incredibly fast-paced both in front of and behind the lens, yet the image depicts a certain sense of serenity.
Gold on the ceiling!
