April 2021 Photo Contest Winner and Review
Published 3 hours ago
WINNER:
Sturgeon in the overflight by Markus Schmidt
Wow! A record breaking month with loads of incredible images, both macro and wide angle, from all around the world.
When judging any underwater photography competition, the first thing I do is ask of each image: Is it in focus? The main subject has to be pin sharp. Is it exposed correctly?
I then look at lighting (photography is all about light) and composition. Backscatter, hot spots of light, messy backgrounds: all might see your image lose out.
Then there are other considerations that might get you knocked out of the first round: Was the image taken underwater? After all it is an underwater photography competition! Were any animals distressed or harassed to get the image? Was any environmental damage done to get the shot?

fan since Birth (Other than one day in first grade when my friends bullied me for being a White Sox fan, so I became a Cubs fan. That night, my dad asked me, “Are you sure about this?” and when I woke up the next day I decided to just hate the Cubs instead.)
First White Sox memory Watching games on TV with my dad.
Favorite White Sox memory I mean, 2005. But the first game I attended, on my 7th birthday, still sticks out. I hoped to catch a home run. I didn’t get one, but the White Sox beat the Devil Rays, 9-1, and Bartolo Colon pitched a gem.
