From teeny-tiny to
titanic, the University of Miami's annual Underwater Photography
contest has captured the colourful creatures typically beneath reach and
view while awarding a vibrant sea slug as the contest's star. The
contest held by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
reviewed 700 underwater photograph submissions before calling out the
winners by category. 'The
quality of photos keeps getting better each year,' UM lecturer and
photographer Myron Wang who judged among the panel of experts said in a
release by the school. 'Judging
becomes more difficult when you have so many wonderful pictures to
choose from. For me, there were excellent entries in every category but
this year's standout was the great picture of the juvenile sperm whale
taken by Douglas Lahle in Dominica. It is spectacular!' Mr Wang said. But
when it came to the overall winner, size wasn't the judge, however,
with that title going to the neon headshield slug photographed in the
Virgin Islands while crossing an emerald green plant, complimenting its
glowing orange, blue and yellow body. The annual contest featured one new category of a Fan Favourite poll that was ranked through the Rosenstiel School blog. That
winner of a jellyfish shot in Monterey, California by Todd Aki took
nearly half the votes the school reported, totaling over 1,200 votes.
