Underwater Photo Challenge WEEK 2: WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT:

After deciding that Steemit really needed a thriving #underwaterphoto tag, and launching a photo challenge to kick it all off, I'm excited to announce the second week's challenge winner.

A huge thank you again to everyone who entered and helped spread the word through re-steeming the contest post: https://steemit.com/travel/@underwaterwoman/underwater-photography-challenge-week-2-share-your-best-underwaterphoto.

Andddd, the second week's winner of 1 SBD/STEEM is.... @ellis.marell!

@ellis.marell's comment along with this entry was: "My friend the mermaid feels underwater as alive as up on the planet. ;)"

This week's choice was a hard one. There was a wide-range of underwater portraits and marinelife shots.

Honorable mentions go to:

@wswoimzywiole with this nudibranch picture:>/b>

"Chromodoris willani, Raja Ampat Islands."

@epphotos with this shot:

"Title: Sharks under Keel
About: Black tip and Reef Sharks circle a boat off of Hawaii’s North Shore in February. Getting in the water with these incredibly powerful yet graceful creatures was breathtaking."
