This should be fun. But I just hope people do not photoshop images to make them look better. IMO that is just cheap. Show the image as you shot it.

Thanks for asking, but at this point the contest categories are already established and there will be no new categories added.
Maybe next time the Fimbriated will be included.-Grayce

I got the upload successful message, but it does not show up in the thread or "my photos" under my profile.
Seems to work fine...up to the point where it applies the photo to the thread. Failed to appear twice. I tried Yellow polyps and Ricordea Yuma threads.
Socal, I believe you have found the solution! Although our system will accept larger pictures, you may find the upload has timed out, which is beyond our control. In that case you will just get frustrated and your picture may never make it. The larger the file, the longer it will take.
We have tested the system on this end and tried uploading various sizes, as tests, and they uploaded fine. A lot will depend on the web service you have, and the speed of your connection.

Aren't you sorry you decided to do this again
You may get better results if you try to upload a smaller file. You can resize in most software that came with your camera. You may also have a pre-installed program on your computer that will work.
On our end, we've tested uploads of various sizes with no problems, so you may have issues with your internet service provider, and connection speed.
We're not sorry we're doing this again...lol. It will be nice to see all the great pictures.

Just in case I got lost in the shuffle....

Preparing a Photograph for Upload…A Few Tips From Grayce
After you transfer your photos to your computer you will need some photo editing software to resize your digital photographs. I recommend resizing to a standard 448 x 336, if it’s a horizontal image and 336 x 448 if it is a vertical. If you try to upload a picture that is too large the system may reject it or you may get a “timed out” error message.
Check the software that came with your camera, or pre-installed on your computer, to see if you already have the photo editing software you need to simply crop and resize. If you don't have any photo editing software or want to try something new, here are a few free programs for you to use. There are others, you can find by doing a search online.

•http://picasa.google.com/
•http://www.shrinkpictures.com/
Shrink Pictures is actually a website that allows you to resize pictures right on their website.
Before resizing you should crop away anything that isn’t necessary in the picture, since we want to see the subject clearly, and prominently. The subject should make up the largest percentage of the picture. The best way is to get as close to your subject as your camera can focus on. If you take the picture from too far away there will be too much background and your subject will seem insignificant in the final outcome. If you move in closer than your camera manual suggests you will end up with a blur.
As a published photographer, the very best tip I can share is take lots and lots of photographs of your subject, then select the best to submit to the contest. Try different angles too. You’ll also find that in different lighting, and at different times of the day, colors will appear different.
Other than cropping a photo, then resizing it, there shouldn’t really be any additional editing to be done. Some programs will have an option for you to sharpen a picture. Most digital images will benefit from this, but if it’s overdone will actually ruin the picture. View you picture before uploading it, to make sure the quality is good. You want your picture to be a winner and that means it will need to be better than the competitions' pictures.-Grayce

You are granting commercial rights to saltwaterfish.com. If we are using your photo on our website, it would be unethical to see it used on another commercial website. You can still use it personally to share with people.

No, the picture can be from any time period. You just need to make sure you own it and can assign rights.

I have to admit that I'm a little surprised at the lack of entries. Lots of empty galleries.
