The sunset is magical and in combination with the snow-covered mountain landscape can create a beautiful panoramic scenery. The photo was taken in the Jeseníky Mountains in the Czech Republic.

• Biography
  I come from the Czech Republic. My photography has almost always accompanied my sports activities, including diving. I have adapted my photography equipment to be able to take photos under water and in flooded caves. Caves are characterized by an unfavorable situation for a photographer, that is: absolute darkness. Nevertheless, the world of flooded caves, in which a diver floats in a state of weightlessness between the beautiful stalactite decoration, has absolutely captivated me and forces me to capture this beauty in photographs and share it with people.
