Finalist – Penguin’s-Eye View – At a secluded area near Seaforth Beach in Simon’s Town, I spent a few minutes in the shallows watching the penguins swimming and porpoising around, and got close enough to capture this group soaking up the morning sun. The clarity of the water was very poor, so when I looked at my pictures at home, I was thrilled to see I had chosen a perfectly clear spot right where the birds were. – By Albert Snyman, Cape Town Canon 760D, Samyang 8mm fi sh-eye f/3.5 (with underwater housing and dome port), ISO 400, f/5.8, 1/1000 sec
