Bluewater Photo September Photo Contest: Patterns

I was pleasantly surprised to see that my macro photograph of coral just won the Bluewater Photo September Contest. Thanks Kevin for the detail feedback on the images. This shot was taken in Raja Ampat, Indonesia on a recent trip. To see more images from that trip and others, check out my website at http://www.scubarews.com/Underwater/Raja-Ampat-Indonesia


Judged by Kevin Lee (www.diverkevin.com) Judges comments: 1st. Ron has well focused, exposed, and composed this great image. The opposing colors, shadows and unique textures captivate the eye, especially with the "canyons" set at a diagonal. Well done. 2nd. Tracy has skillfully illustrated the beauty of these pelagic inverts as they drift silently in open water. Not an easy image to capture, especially as well as Tracy has done. 3rd. Todd has cropped this relatively common angel fish down to the essential elements and composed it very well to achieve an uncommon perspective.
