Image details:

Marcia Riederer, Great Barrier Reef Australia 
(Ocean Fine Art Photographer of the Year - Category Winner)
A dwarf minke whale curiously eyes the photographer. These whales are known to visit the northern Great Barrier Reef during the winter, making it the only known predictable aggregation of the species in the world, says Riederer.

Dylan de Haas, Coral Bay, Western Australia
(Ocean Fine Art Photographer of the Year - Highly Commended)
A manta ray swims near the shoreline. When I launched my drone, I discovered five manta rays cruising very close to shore, says de Haas. Calm water, soft waves, and pristine clarity made this rare sight possible.

Yury Ivanov, Bali, Indonesia
(The Ocean Photographer of the Year - Overall Winner)
Two amphipods from the Cyproideidae family, each only measuring around 3mm in body length, rest on a coral. Commonly called 'ladybugs of the sea', these tiny creatures display striking colouration and symmetry. 'It required a lot of patience and precision to compose and light the shot properly,' says Ivanov. 'The result reveals an intimate glimpse of underwater life that is often overlooked.'

Romain Barats, Roseau, Dominica
(Ocean Adventure Photographer of the Year, Highly Commended)
A diver is surrounded by a pod of sperm whales. 'We saw 15 whales socialising,' says Barats. 'The sea was rough but when you get to see something like this you quickly forget the conditions.'

Tim Burgess, New South Wales, Australia
(Ocean Fine Art Photographer of the Year - Highly Commended)
A humpback whale fluke rises above the waterline. During the annual whale migration, more than 40,000 humpback whales travel along Australia's east coast, says Burgess.
