From Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
This weeks winner is a case in point about developing a style, being consistent and being persistent.
Last month I mentioned a couple of entries by the same person that clearly had a similar style and marked out the individual as maintaining a theme.
And this month persistence has paid off for this person as they’ve never won previously but I immediately recognised a style and even if I hadn't seen their name their picture
would have rung a familiar bell with me, as being simple well composed, technically competent, and colourful.
This person is Pamela Fischer and the shot is a macro picture of a Durban Shrimp, perfectly positioned in the frame, the colour red drawing the eye along with the use of diagonals in the composition to increase the drama.
So well done Pamela your persistence has paid off you’re June’s worthy winner.
A couple of the other shots that caught my eye, in particular the great black and white dolphin picture, and the topside sunset at Wadi Lahimi.
By Elena Jaeger and Wioletta Jozwiak, so the girls are crushing it this month, keep up the good work people and keep entering.
And hopefully I may get to meet some of you at this years Red Sea Photo Camp in late November early December.
I cant wait to get back in the water with my camera.
