The photo portrays fishing nets during a catch in the coastal area of the central province of Phu Yen forming the shape of a dolphin swimming. In the photo, a small basket boat in red moves into the right position and creates the shape of the dolphin's eye.

“The delicate wisps of the fishing net hang beautifully beneath the surface of the water like a giant sea creature,” says Ruben Wu, a member of the contest's judging panel and a visual artist and photographer.

With the awards, Thai Viet Hoan earned a cash prize of 10,000 USD.
