Calendar girl takes top shot
Even though dozens of hopeful amateur underwater photographers submitted images for inclusion in Bite-Back's unique 2008 calendar, there could be only one winner.
And now Kitty Jempson, 29, will have her image immortalised alongside contributions from celebrated cameramen including David Doubilet, Doug Perrine, Chris Fallows, Brian Skerry and Alex Mustard.
Her shot of a Potato Bass, taken in Mozambique, caught the attention of the judges for its use of subject, composure, lighting and accompanying conservation message.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, commented: "This is an wonderful image. Most pro-shooters would be thrilled to bag this picture. It is a truly worthy addition to this awesome collection of images."
Kitty Jempson's image was just one of a handful of female competition entries and, as the calendar goes to print this month, she remains the only female contributor represented.
A dive instructor at Dive Solutions in London, Kitty said: "Friends and family prompted me to enter the competition and now I can't thank them enough. Imagine having your shot printed alongside the very best photographers in the world. It's a dream come true. I am proud and delighted to have been chosen."

All the profits will go to funding Bite-Back's pioneering marine conservation campaign tackling over-fishing and over-consumption. Already its campaigns have seen ASDA, Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose drop vulnerable species, including shark, swordfish, marlin and orange roughy, from stores across the country.
