(USA)	Big-B Nov 5 2009, 06:41 PM Sounds good but what are the rules and prizes. prizes?? hmmmmmmmm. .. well im not sure.. cuz i gotta send some to the EAST COAST for their Meet and Greets.. but as of now I know I could throw in 2 550Gram of GS.. red and or original.. what ever they pleases for the winner or DO WE WANT WINNERS??? but i do prefer only one winner.. for that makes it easier on me..and also we will have more prizes for other activities.. ... prizes of course is free shipping world wide! Also i could throw in suction cups, pazil pros deworm meds, tank thermometers.. heaters, ceramic rings, basically what ever i have laying around as for rules.. it should be like how the post POTM would be.. basically your fish, a before and after .. an update of the fish. and who ever fish pics looks cleanest, have some messages and so forth with the most majority votes wins!

Quote: so is the potm.. based on development.. or the photo skills?? clarity, cleanness and so forth?/ or better yet..the more the better??? hahahha but i think we will go with the usuals and try to go more based on the photo skills and less on the development or progress of the fish.. so what do you think or want??? here is something to remember when taking pics POTM Selection Guideline 1) Fish should be healthy and in top condition. 2) Distractions other than subject fish should be eliminated or kept to a minimum (other fish, date-time stamps, tank equipment etc.). 3) Fish photographed should be in focus. Out of focus background is ok (depth of field limits) as long as subject is in focus. 4) Fish blurry by movement should be avoided. 5) Framing should include the whole fish in a natural pose. To cut-off the rear of fish detracts from overall picture balance. 6) Tank should be clean (algae, watermarks, etc.), specially the glass you are photographing through. 7) Camera lens should be clean. 8) Photo quality should be good. Observe how whole picture is composed, should be in harmony and pleasant to the observers eyes. 9) Light balance should be natural, not overtly blue or red. 10) Flash and other reflections should be avoided.
