Now that the winners are announced, I can finally post a few of my losing entries, shot last year, that didn't make it in the underwater photography competitions 2025/26. In fact, yet again for the 8th year in a row, none of them even get a mention! Awwww! ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜‚

Good news is that I don't care so much about winning, although, just like the lottery, it would be nice! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll be travelling and diving again soon, and taking more shots of incredible and beautiful marine life in 2026.
