The winners of Scuba Diving magazine’s third annual photo contest have recently been posted. The categories were wide angle, marine life, macro and topside.
This image by the multi-award winning photographer Todd Mintz won the grand prize of $1,000 cash and a dive trip for two to Manta Ray Hotel in Yap, Micronesia.
What I want to know is this:
How do these UNnatural looking shots always seem to always win top prizes at NATURE photography competitions?
As bizarre as it looks, it’s a Spinecheek anemonefish in bulb-tentacle anemone shot in Raja Ampat, Indonesia using a Canon 20D, Aquatica A20 housing and Inon Z220S strobes.
The other winners and honourable mentions were all fantastic. I know it’s a cop-out, but I have to say that it would have been impossible for if I were a judge to pick out a clear winner.
