Black Trevally and Sardines
Photograph by Nadya Kulagina, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? While I typically associate underwater photography with vivid colors, I have come to really appreciate scenes done in black and white. The contrast allows me to focus on the arc of the silvery sardines as the black trevally closes in. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor

I love this photo! The composition and lines are amazing.
As a high school student interested in photography I have always looked to National Geographic for the best examples of great photography.
Here is a link to my photo blog if you would like to see some of my work:

I really admire the underwater photographers, it is like they work in different dimension. Also it takes lots of skills, effort and courage to go underwater as you never know what creature they may came across. But on the end of the day all of their efforts pays off when they come out on the surface with such powerful images!!!
