hahaha, Madness you are killing me with this humor! I have always liked this school of thought .... put yourself up rather than put others down.

I am thinking that you should now participate.

Btw, i won't be submitting any pics. as I need to purchase a new camera (coming this April after my head coach money gets into my account )

We had months of madness dovii.... I say he needs to put up one of a female festae.

I'm the one that can't enter this one.
I see no reason for you not to, madness.

lol, i may have to enter one myself, gonna have to take some good shots over the next few days.

Interesting...very very interesting. I'll see what I can come up with. Hmmm... are there any guidelines?

Just anything that deals with fishkeeping, eh? Hrmmm...

Here are the guide lines. (I guess this would help LOL)

The picture must have been taken by you

The picture must be of your own fish/water living creature

You may only enter one photo per month

Your picture will be judged by the forum members using any criteria they wish

The pictures need to be in to me via email (madness@comcast.net before April 1st)

Voting will start on the first of each month (because this is starting in the middle of the month, voting will start shortly after the 1st)

The final winner will be announced on the last day of the month (this time after 30 days from the time the contest begins)

Winner will not be able to participate in the following POTM contest

Voting and Photos submission is confidential

There will be an end of the year contest where the winner of each month compete against each other

Breaking any of the rules will result in immediate disqualification of photo entry

PUT THIS INFO IN THE EMAIL ALONG WITH YOUR PICTURE ENTRY
Say who you are, along with your screen name
Say the species of fish in the picture.
The photo must not be smaller than 600x600

*cracks knuckles* . . . . interesting.... very. very. interestiiiiing.

thanks, Madness!

Phone camera, all I have. But I think I can get a decent pic by then.

granted im not the judge... but quality isnt as important as an amazing or unusual shot.. if i was voting and it was high power dslr vs camera phone.. its all about the pic... maybe a fish yawning.. a funny pic of a shrimp on the back of a fish who knows so crazedace... take a camera phone pic

But you will be the judge. As soon as I get the pictures, I will put them in a poll for all of you to vote on.

In the original rules wasn't there a rule in regard to editing? Something about just basic stuff like cropping, no altered pictures otherwise...

Sweet, finally a good reason to not be lazy about breaking out the camera equipment and not just the cell phone.

my camera just died

right but no money to buy one

I just sent mine in . I hope it was properly received. Good Luck Everyone!!

Sent mine. Thought we needed some saltwater in here

OK everyone, we are at 5 pictures right now. I would like to get at least 12 photos in the contest, if we get more, I will pic the 12 best and submit them.

Lets get some more in to me.

Hey all, when you send me your picture please include your forum name, real name and the type of fish in the picture.

If emails dont have the above info your photos will not be submitted into the contest. I have sent reply's to 2 of you already requesting this info, no more replys, so hopefully you all see this before submitting.

Thank you

We are up to 8 pictures now, keep them coming.

@Madness,
Since the forum members are the ones voting I dont see why you couldn't participate by entering a photo. Im just saying...

After seeing a bunch of other members hi res photos I have a feeling I'll need to put more effort in than using my cell phone to take pictures next time...

My cell takes better pics than my old Panasonic DMC.

Get those pics in... remember the winner also gets their fish on the banner until the next contest winner.

YES! finally an excuse to take pictures of my tank for hours trying to get that perfect shot

Oh! Didn't know that.... NeatO!

We still have to vote, won't know who won until the end of the month, good luck everyone!

The pictures have been collected and will soon be up for a vote. Looks like 12 pictures will get voted on.

Vote is soon to come.
