Wow, it seems like a shot like this is extra difficult to get that clarity under and above water. Very nice entry!!!

I voted 4 stars on this one, so you know I must have liked it a lot. (don't often go that high) I like the unusual view, and the clarity of the underwater details. Such a contrast between the happy colors and the ugliness of the war machine. Good work - congratulations on 1st place!

Thanks, just goes to show as I had very low expectations for this one. I do love my 7-14 lens and this is my second win with it.
