The best speleo photo of 2006

The photo contest is over... The voting in Internet was unexpectedly active maybe because the information about the contest reached the international audience. Briefly about the rules of evaluation: we chose the best photos in the categories depending on the voting results in Internet (photo rating was multiplied by the number of the voters). Three best photos of each category were printed and exposed during the season closing feast. Some of the photos that looked very beautiful on the computer screen became unimpressive when printed; the others on the contrary - only when printed they revealed the real beauty in themselves. The one best speleo photo was elected from all the printed photos.
