Of all exceptional Malaysian photographers, a marine biology graduate, Yoganathan Loganathan cliched the top prize in the National Awards competition. Despite his young age, the talented photographer participated in the Open competition in the Natural World & Wildlife category by submitting his Ray of Hope photograph.
