Outdoor Adventure Highly Honored

“The water was quite cold and the current was very strong when I took this image while free diving, which makes it even harder to get everything right. I had to hold my breath as I was waiting at a 33-foot depth, lying on the rocks so as not to disturb the swarm. The free diver came down through the thick layer of fishes with the daylight in the background. I like the little red pigfish sneaking into the image.”—Robert Marc Lehmann
