Paul Duxfield, our new competition judge:
"Sibylle’s shot of a Dugong and retinue of attendant Remoras was a clear winner in this months competition.The black and white conversion was also a master stroke, as sometimes people are tempted to salvage a shot with a monochrome treatment, but in this case the shape and composition is beautiful and the slivery grey tones just add to the overall effect.And Sibylle has pulled off the difficult task of making a large and often ungainly creature look sleek and streamlined, as it effortlessly returns to the sea grass after taking a breath.Well done Sibille excellent shot."
