Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year

Gergo Rugli Australia

32*36’56.9”S 152*18’50.4”E

A common dolphin photographed in the Port Stephens Marine Park off Broughton Island. “This dolphin was expertly riding the pressure wave of a 52ft catamaran,” says photographer Gergo Rugli. “Around 40-50 common dolphins surrounded our boat and began riding the bow. I positioned myself in the net between the bows of the catamaran and started photographing them whilst I was hanging upside down from the moving boat.”
