Each year, there is a special competition in London, one that chooses the best underwater photographers from all around the world. This year, the entries are absolutely stunning -- who knew that photos taken underwater could be so vibrant and stunning?
Taking the biggest titles of "Underwater Photographer of the Year," is David Lopresti from Italy, whose incredible image of a seahorse will take your breath away. The rest of the contestants' work is equally as inspired, and you can see all of them along with their award titles below.
