Winning images for May’s underwater photo contest have been selected! The theme for May’s contest was “Big Animals” and the winner of the contest and a $200 gift certificate to Backscatter is Brandi Mueller!
Brandi managed to perfectly frame two Mantas in mid spiral, while capturing the magnificence of these Big Animals! Great job!
In second place was Fabien Michenet, who skillfully captured a special humpback whale and calf. Third place was awarded to Tobias Friedrich with an interesting perspective of whale shark and snorkeler.
