    6 7 or 2

    none of the others even have a chance due to non-centered subjects or algae on the glass. also I recommend you crop the bottom off of 7

    also really those have algae also but they are less distracting. Sorry if I'm brutal but you have to bring you A-game to a contest.

    nikon D90. adjustable lens but most shot at 105mm

    yeah there will be plenty of cropping and possibly a slight CCT adjustment to get some background blue out. I just wanted to supply you guys with the untouched pics because anyone can make something look much better in photoshop

    yeah. i am very skilled at photoshop and could make a photo look like it is from the caribbean. I wonder if that is allowed........... hey, they never said it's not! Just a slight less exposure and a slight more saturation it would look AWESOME!!! You could do a lot more but that would help! hahaha Good luck! :) BTW: The photo looks amazing! My camera is just "a piece" and it needs a little help from the shop!!!! haha
