A macro shot of one more Blenny or a wide angle shot of a wreck in not so clear water? It seems many of the contests out there are won by folks shooting macro, usually on the cute factor. Yes, it requires great equipment, yes, it requires patience, yes it requires getting strobe, lens, fstop, focus and exposure set properly (except with auto). But the blenny isn't going anywhere, the column of water between the lens and it is small so little chance for backscatter and haven't we seen enough shots of them?
When you have to have the proper combination of skill, good conditions, proper angle, and great equipment, patience, getting strobe, lens, fstop, focus and exposure set properly (except with auto) isn't wide more difficult? It is like the difference between shooting flower arrangements and shooting sports.
