It's great to see sharks so well represented in this year's competition, but it's not hard to see why when they are as photogenic as this. |

A real shocking image, not usually seen, because an encounter with whalesharks is really exceptional. Something never pictured before. |

Where I work in the diving industry in Mozambique, whale sharks are a daily sight. However, very few have been priviledged enough to witness a feeding frenzy. |

This picture is a dreamlike moment in the sea. Whale sharks, even one whale shark, are the holy grail of underwater photography but a group of them feeding on clouds of baitfish is truly extraordinary.
