The 'Best Five' underwater photo contest was open to anyone who participated in our 2002 underwater photography tours to St. Vincent.

Entries were a series of 5 photos, each of a different species of creature. The photos must have been taken between July 15 and August 26 during a City Seahorse Underwater Photography & Critter Diving Tour.

Each photographer could enter their 2 'Best Five' series. Entries were judged on
1.  technical perfection (focus, exposure, lighting, no backscatter, etc.),
2.  composition &
3.   impact on the viewer.

To judge this competition, each photo in a series was given points by the judges (from 0, big problems - 3, excellent) and added up to determine the winning 'Best Five'.

Please browse through the entire gallery. In additon to these winning photos, there is a page of honorable mention photos and some interesting creatures and top-notch photos scattered throughout the gallery.
