The second picture was also at the Nursery. It is a nice long dive right by the fill station at sopers hole in Tortola. Lots of fish make for good photos and since it is shallow generally 40' you get good light.

Just wanted to post a reminder from the photo contest rules:

6. While post process work is acceptable, Reefs.org reminds users that this is a photography forum and should not be regarded as an art or computer graphics contest. All entries must be actual, original photographs taken by the submitter.

...and also remind everyone that discussion regarding any submissions should be posted in a separate thread. The submission thread is for just that--submissions.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this comment, but shouldn't these contests be pics from people's aquariums? Or maybe have 2 contests, one for aquaria pics, and one for Wild pics? Just a thought, how many of us can compete with these awesome wild shots? There great photos, don't get me wrong, but this isn't wild ocean forum.
