The Hummer

It was the last day of my shark expedition in the Bahamas. On the final day, and I was still missing the shot I came here to take. We went down. The day before, there had been a storm and we couldn’t see anything. But they were back. Glorious, mighty, curious but shy ladies, towering at four-meter long. The Great Hammerheads were slowly circling around us. It was my final chance. The last opportunity to do what I had in mind for months. “Stay calm, be patient” was constantly echoing in my mind. Sitting on a soft sandy bottom, facing against the sun, I could only wait. Until there she was, coming directly at me.

Judge’s comment: “Heaven knows we’d seen enough Hammerhead shots so it took a great one to impress us with its power, symmetry, and originality. This is it. ” – Peter Rowlands
