2nd Place Compact Wide Angle

Enrico Somogyi

"Juvenile Pike"

Enrico Somogyi won a 7D6Night 10Dive package in Anilao, Philippines from Aiyanar Beach & Dive Resort

The Story:

Last summer, I was snorkeling in Lake Kulkwitz, located near my home. In the shallow water, I discovered many juvenile pikes. This particular pike was very relaxed and allowed me to approach closely. For this shot, I used a macro wide-angle lens from Nauticam with a 160-degree field of view. I zoomed out until I achieved this circular perspective and captured some beautiful shots of the pike near the surface.
