The photo contest "Underwater Photographer of the Year — 2018" announced the winners. Their works, as always, perfectly show what a wonderful world is under water.
To become a participant in the contest, the photographer must take a picture underwater. Two-level photos are also allowed, if there is an underwater part. There are no restrictions on the subsequent processing of the frame. This year, photographers from 63 countries sent more than five thousand works, which were evaluated in 11 categories.
Tobias Friedrich from Germany became the best underwater photographer of 2018 with a photo of the sunken military cargo ship "Thistlegorm".
