Epson World ShootOut 2011 Competition

[Sharp]

Hello.

I took part of the Epson World ShootOut 2011 competition (http://www.worldshootout.org/?CategoryID=199&Page=2) to the category of Fresh Water. I got 3rd prize: 7 night trip for 1 person to the Maldives aboard the M/Y Conte Max or Duke of York, courtesy of Albatros Top Boat :D

We had one month (August) time shoot pictures. All divers send three picture set to jury. I shot all my three pictures in my favorite lake Valkiajärvi.

Thank you friends! It was very nice that there was this year fresh water category.

Andrew, it would be nice to have buddy to travel and dive.:)

Solisti, I was last year in Eilat and there was so much lilly pictures that I decided not to put those.

Sorvju-f, I have always known that Valkiajärvi lake is world class diving site.:)

Here is info from Aquatica (http://www.aquatica.ca/index_en.html) website about Epson Wold ShootOut competition. Winner of fresh water category was Canadian Keri Wilk who is also using Aquatica housing.

Yes Jonathan, we have fresh water everywhere. Every day when I am going to work I have to use three bridges because my home town Savonlinna is build in many islands.
