July 2018 Photo Contest
2nd Think Pink Photo Competition (Macro)
DPG and Dive into the Pink are thrilled to announce the winners of the second Think Pink Photo Competition. Organized by Dive into the Pink and hosted by DPG, the contest invited shooters to submit their best images featuring the color pink in two categories—Macro and Wide Angle.
We had a fantastic response again this year, with almost 400 entries raising well over $3000 for breast cancer research and patient support. The quality of the entries was exceptionally high and the judging panel had a very tough time picking the winners. Eventually, however, the judges decided to award first place in the Macro category to Henley Spiers’s spectacular blenny in a sponge. Henley wins a six-day package to Crystal Blue Resort, Anilao, Philippines.
Macro: First place – Henley Spiers
Scoring the second place spots, Fabien Michenet wins an AOI 12.5x diopter with flip thread adapter for a beautiful shrimp on a jellyfish in the Macro category. The third place finisher is Massimo Giorgetta for his crisp candy crab, who takes home a $250 gift certificate towards Saga Dive products. The judges also felt that Elly Wray earned an honorable mention in the Macro category for her schooling squid. Elly receives a copy of Blackwater and Open Blue by Scott “Gutsy” Tuason.
Thank you for supporting Dive into the Pink! 100% of the proceeds from this effort will be used to support the fight against breast cancer.
Macro: Second place – Fabien Michenet
Macro: Third place – Massimo Giorgetta
