December POTM Contest!!!!!

[pookstreet]

Count us in w/ a $50 gift certificate for any other contest you come up with Kenny!!!!

Thanks Steve. I am currently working on something for the end of the year. Hopefully we can make it as BIG as possible

LPS??? Do you know how many pictures I am going to have to go through? Can I pick my top 3 and then have everybody vote on the one to submit?

Down the road, we would like to pitch in on prizes so count us in too.=)

Sorry Jen/Charles. I know this is right up your alley but the contest is for non-sponsor members only =( How about we do this instead for this time around only. Everyone can still submit one entry, including all the sponsors, but the prizes will only go to the non-sponsor member who receives the most votes.

Here is my entry,
thanks,

Hi Kevin, I am not 100% familiar with your entry but I am curious as to whether it's an LPS or not. Thanks.

IMO anybody with a commercial interest in the hobby shouldn't be allowed to enter.................

I mean this contest is for hobbyists.........not vendors, farmers, retailers, distributors or promoters.....

I'd agree with this. Also, not sure why I'd have to say this, but photo-retouching should be disallowed.

Or am I just being old fashioned?

Once the photo is submitted to a site like photobucket, I'm not sure you could verify if it were touched up or not. So I think you are being old fashioned.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that they not be retouched, though...

Again, call me old fashioned...

What exactly is it? Very interesting looking indeed. Learn something new everyday.

Not only old fashioned, but out of touch with reality

Not a single photographer out there that doesnt retouch images. Count it...not 1...in the entire world be it in camera tricks, lighting tricks, developing tricks or photoshop. This includes for example RC totms.

But i see why you say not retouched,..i can see how a pretty lame looking coral can be made to look nice by retouching. Maybe i take it for granted because its part of my job..... At the same token though, that would definitely be a rule if we were having a "best lps coral" competition, rather then best picture competition...dunno,.. just my point of view

I agree. Fantasy corals is out along with me and all other sponsors. I still hope you all like the pic of the yuma. It's for SALE by the way.
