Blue is a pretty stunning colour, right? There are many hues. From the colour of the sky to the majestic feathers of a peacock.
And the Agora Images competition honours the incredible colour.
The winner of the #Blue2019 competition, taking place on 21 November, will win a prize of $1,000 (£773.76).
Taken by photographers from around the world, some of the striking images include a Verditer flycatcher in neon blue and a shoal of Barracuda in deep navy.
Also included is a whale breaching the surface, a ‘UFO’, blue seas next to sandy beaches, and moored boats floating in the water
The final shortlist includes 50 entrants who were chosen out of 17,554 submissions.
A spokesperson for Agora Images said: ‘It can be easy to forget how manifold our world is when we live our everyday lives.
‘Taking a step back and noticing all the different people, places, and animals we live alongside with can show us just how bright the world can really be.
‘With the launch of #Blue, photographers were given the opportunity to interpret the contest in any way they wished, which resulted in a wide range of colourful subjects and scenic images.
‘Whether it is in the depths of the ocean or looking up at the night sky, each photographer presents their own version of of what #Blue means to them.’
