Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year
Jeong Yul Park Mexico
"This location is a cenote in Cancun," says Yul Park. "I wanted to capture the entire view from the entrance in a single frame, so I went all the way to the back of the cenote and positioned myself for the shot. I waited a long time to take the photo without any other divers around."
