Finalist – My Broken Heart – This was taken during the Sardine Run, at Port St Johns. The belief had always been that without the
presence of fast-moving common dolphins, other predators are incapable of keeping a bait ball
together. However, here the blacktip sharks formed a virtual cage around the fish, trapping any possible escape routes. It was a moving experience and I could not help but feel sorry for the school of
sardines, which is where my image title comes from.
