Raja Ampat Entrance Tag Contest

I just entered a contest for the new 2013 Entrance Tag for Raja Ampat.  All divers are required to purchase one of these tags when diving in Raja Ampat. The tag is 5cm in diameter and is attached to the diver's BC (Buoyancy Compensator). It would be pretty cool if one of my photos was on the tag, and that is what the contest is all about.

The problem I had was choosing which photo to submit. The rules stated that I could only enter TWO photographs or graphic designs, and I had narrowed my photos down to EIGHT (pictured below). Can you guess which two I chose to submit??

These were the eight that I had to narrow down to TWO...which two do you think I chose in the end?


Below are the actual tags from previous years...

    I'm guessing the turtle and the school of fish in the bottom right of the 8. Looking at the tags I would think a lot of the photo is obscured, so you need to look for something that has good visibility in the space provided.

    Hmm - tough one scotty - Personally I like #3 and #5 , however, it appears they choose single animals based on prior years which looks like 2, 4 and 5 have the best shot of wining :)

    You could have 4 people each submit 2 :)

    Cheers -

    My favorites are #2 and #8, so I will stick with those as my answer. I love the Manta Ray photo, too. So majestic.

    Thanks for the guesses...It was a really tough decision as I could see merit in any of the photos. In the end, I chose the clown fish (#4) and the Sweet Lips (#8)...I think they would fit the tag the best, and will get the most votes...but who knows?

    @Gordon, I thought of doing that (getting my friends to enter my photos), but thought I should just obey the rules and play fair...I might end up regretting that decision..haha...
