None of those pics have placed (yet). The funny thing is, the one that place 5 years ago, I wasn't going to enter. Someone else w/a better eye than myself told me to enter it. Which is your favorite? The Coral Banded Shrimp won the MASNA Calander Contest but I liked others I sent in better.

Good job with using a polarizer (picture - best friends). What equipment are you using?

Can you guys see all the lil fish inside the cave? I was afraid folks wouldn't.

What's a polarizer ?

Some of the pics are w/an Nikonos 5 & Velvia film, some are w/an Olympus 5060, housed in Ikelight.

cave light is my favorite, but it could definitely use some digital post processing love.

Sorry Pufferpunk, I truly though you used a polarizer in that particular picture. As to what a polarizer (lens filter) is can be a bit complicated to fully explain. Overall they are used to reduce light reflection in subjects and their surroundings which enhances color saturation and sharpness. Either way, awesome images.
