The winners of the annual Ocean Art photography competition have been revaled, with some remarkable photos of the world's most unique marine life taking the top prizes.
The Best of Show was a graceful photo of three Giant Devil Rays performing a 'ballet', which uses soft, ambient light to accentuate the movements of elegant giants, shot by Duncan Murrell.
Other exceptional images include some astonishing fish and marine life shots, rarely seen animal behavior, innovative shooting techniques, stunning portraits, seals, ocean adventure, whales and some dramatic moments between humans and marine life. The judges evaluated thousands of entries from 70 countries before selecting the final set of images as Ocean Art winners.
Over $80,000 in prizes were awarded, making the Ocean Art prize value among the highest in the world.
Bluewater Photo and Travel owner and Underwater Photography Guide publisher, Scott Gietler comments, 'This year's outstanding underwater images in the Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition continue to raise the bar for underwater photographers.
'Myself and the other 3 judges were honored to be viewing such amazing results of the dedication and drive of the human spirit.'
