I am delighted to announce that I have won the portfolio category in the 2007 Festival Mondial Image sous marine (World Festival of Underwater Pictures Antibes) described by many as the equivalent of the Oscars of underwater photography. This year the festival attracted entries from professional underwater photographers and filmmakers from 50 countries.  Unfortunatley I was unable to attend the awards ceremony as I was speaking at the WILD PHOTO event in London after my win in the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition earlier in the week.
