What Makes This a Photo of the Day? While I typically associate underwater photography with vivid colors, I have come to really appreciate scenes done in black and white. The contrast allows me to focus on the arc of the silvery sardines as the black trevally closes in. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
