I was thinking the same thing... all these members and so few votes?! Where is everyone.... out diving?

They are all great pics, but the one I voted for I think is truly special...

That 'Jukka Bird' gave me an idea. We have all seen the amazing underwater shots that have been posted here, but what kind of photos do you take topside?

I think it would be interesting to have a competition for just topside photos, nothing to do with diving (except maybe water, that is quite often a good subject topside too)!

I would like to see what kind of masterpieces you guys can take on land, or is it just family shots that you take?

"and now for a something completely different..."

[Jonathan Bird]

I agree, a very close race due to some great submissions. Congrats Jukka! You will go in the hall of fame in the next day or so...

That is a very good idea! We keep having ideas for photo contest themes and before we do them, we come up with another. I seem to recall there was something I had in mind for the next one already....but now I can't think of it. I'll either have to search for it, or we can do it later and do this one next.
