Support excellent. Both my POTY finalists got rejected here, so hope this doesn't happen to you! Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:41, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Uh oh...I hope so, too. Knock on wood - I've been quite fortunate to have worked with qualified collaborators here and at Commons regarding the u/w images I've nominated. I'm of the mind that unlike the way we typically judge images at Commons, the priority here focuses more on EV and an image's level of importance to an article. I occasionally experience a bit of resistence to u/w images in both venues because most of the editors involved in promoting an image are nondivers which tends to make them more inclined to look for tripod perfection and deeper DOF, neither of which are realistic options for u/w photography, simply because so much of what we shoot is macro or within 2-3 ft. of the subject. Things like light refraction, loss of colors with depth, surge, current and back scatter can be quite formidable, not to mention the time alloted by a single tank of air. I do love a challenge, though. Atsme📞📧 02:03, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am an experienced diver (250+ dives) but don't take underwater photos. But they can be amazing, as you show. My daughter is a dive instructor and uses a Go-Pro for some nice action shots. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:09, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
