Wrecks category – highly commended.
The Haunted Room by Nadya Kulagina (Kazakhstan). Location: the Red Sea
The stillness of this underwater scene flooded with light captured the judges’ attention. It’s “what this room might have looked like when the Umbria was still intact and plying the seas”, thought Kulagina. The wreck lies on its side so she flipped the camera vertically to get the shot.
