Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
"The standard as usual for the competition was very high and there were a couple of repeating themes, with the Eagle Ray shots,and Clownfish Pairs, and a lovely textural pattern shot of soft corals. However for me the winner was an easy one to decide and it was the lovely portrait of a Dugong by Stephen Eyre. It's showing great eye contact and lovely soft lighting giving this gorgeous creature a warm,gentle look. It really seems like it is making a connection with the photographer. Cracking shot Stephen well done.
If any of you would like to join me in the summer at Red Sea Dive Safari, I'm going to be there along with Alphamarine Photography from the 11th to the 21st of June, and we'll be conducting 4 day rolling workshops from Marsa Shagra, where we'll be covering all facets of underwater photography technique, with picture reviews, and photo editing seminars. Our daily lectures will cover Lighting, Composition, Critter Hunting and so much more, all you have to do is to get in touch with Sarah and the gang at Red Sea Diving Safari expressing your interest, and turn up between the dates to join in with the fun. All abilities welcome. I'd love to meet you.
