Entitled “A woman checks on the welfare of a British man slumped across a wall on Magalluf beach, Majorca” it has been shortlisted for this year’s Sony World Photography Awards 2016 in the professional category. Dench, a former winner of the World Press Photo Award for People in the News has gained global respect and a reputation for having an “inimitable style and dry humour”.
The shortlists for its professional, open and youth competitions were revealed today. A recordbreaking 230,103 images were submitted this year from 186 countries. The total number of entries received by the Sony World Photography Awards since its launch has now surpassed one million.
In the professional competition, photographers were invited to enter between three and ten images into any of the fourteen categories. Some 127,098 images were submitted. Judges selected up to ten photographers for the shortlist. Apart from Dench’s photograph, the rest of the shortlist is very impressive. A picture is certainly worth a 1,000 words.

Simple. He is checking to see if the sand is level enough to play a game of cricket.
Since I don't drink at all because of a medical problem and the medication that I have to take for it,I have no axe to grind but how did he know that the man was British since he appears to be well and truly non compos mentis.?
