Kuo-Wei Kao
"Mirror Reflection"
Kuo-Wei Kao won a 14 night dive package to White Sands Beach Resort Lembeh!
The Story: Since the pandemic, I was depressed because I couldn’t go diving abroad. On the chance of going out, I went to the stream and found beautiful little crabs. So, I took my photography equipment and went to different spots every week to observe and try to shoot the ecology of the stream. After multiple attempts in the span of several months, I was able to capture the perfect reflection which was one of my goals. When I shot this photo, I knew I got it!
