Up & coming underwater photographer of the year, also winner, up & coming worldwide category. Three Pillars – Practice, Patience & Luck! by Pier Mane (South Africa). Location: Tiger Beach, Bahamas. “Weary of shooting sharks head-on ... I decided to turn away from the peak action ... I wanted sun rays, dramatic foreground, background perspective, and – the cherry on top – to capture the “master of the house” in all of its mystique. The three sponges were well-positioned to set the scene and it took countless shots to balance the elements; but perseverance, patience and practice all paid off”. (Photo by Pier A.
