Monthly Category Favorites — Underwater

June’s category took us beneath the surface, and what we found there was nothing short of magical. From still pools to dynamic waves, light rays to liquid shadows, the photographs you shared were immersive and full of feeling.

Underwater can be a technically challenging theme, but the results were stunning: color, motion, mystery, and clarity all colliding in unexpected ways. Whether you went diving, dipped a lens, or played with reflection and illusion, we were floored by the creativity.

Here are some of our favorite underwater photos from the month — scroll slowly and take a breath. You might not want to come back up.
