AN image of an underwater wreck impressed judges in an international photography competition.

    The amazing image of a sunken ship was captured by specialist underwater photographer Susannah Snowden-Smith.

    The photographer was commended in the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition with this picture of the wreck of the USS Kittiwake near the Cayman Islands.

    Susannah said, “I have taken lots of photographs of the Kittiwake where it fills the frame, or it’s shot head-on.

    “For this photo, I wanted something different; I had an image in my mind’s eye and set off to capture it.

    “The Kittiwake is a 251-foot-long (76.5-meter-long) vessel and so I had to swim quite a distance away, turning around occasionally to check my progress.”(SD-Agencies)
