Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
"First must I say I am in total agreement with the public vote.And for a combination of great composition,eye for detail, behaviour and bravery is Jana Schut’s picture of the toothsome Titan Trigger Fish being cleanedby a cleaner wrasse. Well done Jana.A lovely example of the day to day life that goes on, at a busy reef cleaning station, of which there are many at the Red Sea Dive Safari house reefs, and of course further afield.You have to be careful with Titan Trigger Fish during the nesting season in late summer, as they can become quite aggressive and those teeth can do some damage to the unwary.There were some great entires as always, but if a little constructive criticism is welcomed then some were let down by not getting the technicalities correct.For instance great compositions were marked down because of over exposure or some shots weren't quite in focus.
Paul “Duxy” Duxfield"
