A photograph taken by Wetpixel member Michael Patrick O’Neill (Michael) was awarded First Place in the Science/Natural History category of the 65th Pictures of the Year International competition, the ”largest, oldest and most reputable photo journalism competition in the world.”
The image of an underwater photographer and Goliath grouper, taken in South Florida, will be presented among other winning images during the awards ceremony at National Geographic in Washington, D.C. on April 17 and 18, 2008. Congratulations, Michael!
Congratulations, Michael. It is always great when underwater images win awards alongside land photos. Alex

Posted by DesertEagle on 03/04 at 07:25 AMCongratulations, Michael. Always thought this was one of the best images you showed us at the SFUPS meeting. I hope it will continue to advance awareness of the plight of the Goliath Grouper in Florida.
