We are very pleased to announce that our top prize goes to a woman for the first time!
The ladies have proved themselves every bit as good as us gents in all fields (OK apart from driving - where they're better!) It was inevitable that underwater photography should succumb to their charms.
In this instance we saw a very strong entry from Fiona across all contest categories throughout the year.

Fiona is a confederate of our 2004 champ Andrew Woodburn, also South African. Fiona says
"I have recently made the cross over and currently use a Nikon D200 in a sea and
sea housing and sometimes hold onto my Nikonos V and F100 for old times sake. I
have been a U/W photgrapher for 6 years. I will dive
and take photos ANYWHERE and in anything. there is always something to take a
great photo of"
