Lewis Burnett, Ocean connection (October theme: Connections)

This image depicts a freedivers connection with the ocean. Freediving is an often introspective activity, giving yourself time and headspace to focus on nothing but the present, It allows you to be fully immersed in the ocean, to feel the weight of the water enveloping you and to really connect with your surroundings. This image was shot on the Ningaloo reef in Western Australia using a Sony A7Riii in an Ikelite housing
