2nd Place - Annual Theme Portfolio Competition - Photo Story (reportage)
British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP).
March 2015
And the four images which, along with my leading one, collectively tell the story of a coral restoration project.
1. Abstract of a variegated sea urchin. These urchins, unlikely allies as they seem, eat a type of algae that causes disease in coral.
2. Close-up showing the coral fragments and data connected with this particular tree; where it is intended for, growth info and so on.
3. Abstract in B&W, just one small square photographed within huge expanses of decimated Staghorn coral.
4. New life! Healthy, transplanted coral - vibrant and replenished.
