The anatomy of a breaking wave. This image shows the vortices of energy released as a wave breaks. The vortices last a tiny fraction of a second before the whole wave collapses into a foam ball.
Runner Up - worthy of note but not a medal winner - an equal 4th place if you like! Runner Up 2013

This was my partner Laurens first go at underwater modelling. We didn't really plan the pose I just asked her to swim in front of the camera and do something nice.... she did something beautiful! Shot in natural light and a black background.

Nudibranchs "courting" on a post under Portsea pier. Taken with Panasonic FT3 with Ikelite housing, natural lighting.
A "turtibranch" - cross between a turtle and a nudibranch""
I recently designed and built my own 18" diameter "super dome" specifically for over/under photography so I could get the entire image sharp from water split line to sea bed and horizon. This was my first test shoot a few days ago at sunrise.
Makes you want a swim? The clarity at Jervis Bay Australia can be magnificent in the correct conditions. Low tide sand ripples.
Red Waratah Anemones. What I really love about over/under photographs is that it gives the underwater element a sense of place. For the viewer it marries the underwater environment with our own familiar world. It links the unknown with the known.
