A letter from Dr. Alex Antoniou, Director of Field Operations for the Shark Research Institute:
"As some of you know, we have been conducting a fund raising drive to be able to begin a residency study on the sharks of the Galapagos. This is essential research to help the Galapagos National Park with their protection and management of the Galapagos Marine Preserve.

POTW entries must be digital-only
We accidentally awarded last week's POTW #33 prize to an image taken with a film camera, which had been submitted with the rest of the bunch.

For a contest that accepts both digital and film-based images, check out our Official Photo Contest. The current contest is in the middle of judging, but a new one will be available for participation very soon!
