From Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
There's a very clear winner for me this month. It’s not that the other entries are below par in any way, in fact without my personal favourite in the running then it would have been a very hard decision, Paul’s colourful coral scene, Cezary’s comical portrait and Ian’s obviously great diving skills creeping up super close to the Blue Spotted Ray without spooking it, would all have stood a great chance.
However for me the obvious winner this month has to be the shot which is the sort of picture that just makes me want to go diving is beautifully framed, and has the marine life rushing towards you, making a still shot so full of action, and that is Irena Stangierska’s lovely picture of the Glass Fish bursting into the frame.
Great shot well done Irena.
Duxy ran escorted photo workshops in Marsa Shagra in 2017 and 2018. These workshops are designed for camera users of all experience levels, with any type of underwater camera. Duxy is on hand to share tips and information, troubleshoot individual photography issues, escort early morning and late afternoon dives, and give talks on specific subjects.
