First, I have to say I am absolutely blown away by the quality of the photographs being submitted. I think we'll be handing out a bunch of $20 credits...which we are thrilled to do.
The contest is off to a great start and I thought I'd post a few mid-course clarifications, reminders and adjustments as we move forward.
First, please post your pictures in a new thread so it is easy for everyone to view. Be reasonable in your sizing of the pic, but know that if your picture is selected, it will appear as a glorious 448 X 336 pixel image on the saltwaterfish.com website
We will put a $20 credit into your saltwaterfish.com for each picture used. A credit is not cash. A credit can be used once you've bought the required minimum at the site(basically $99). So, it'd not cash, but is the same as cash once you've spent the $99...you get the idea. So, if 5 pictures are used, we'll put $100 credit in your acount that can be accessed once you've spent the $99. We will also give you photo credit either directly on the picture or in the description field of the animal. And finally, the grand prize winner will get a $250 shopping spree at saltwaterfish.com (no purchase required).
The picture needs to have been taken by you. The animal does not have to have been purchased on our site, but we must sell it, to be considered. Do not take pictures from the internet. It is not fair to your fellow posters, and it is illegal. We've already had one unfortunate incident, let's make it the last. The successful pictures will become the property of saltwaterfish.com.
Ok, enough fine print stuff...
We'll post a poll so everyone can vote on the winners. So, you'll be given the name of the species and the entrants. Then you visit their thread and the saltwaterfish.com website to compare. Then vote away. Please don't post the saltwaterfish.com pictures on the bulletin board.
I'll put one up today, to see how it all works. So, let's keep this thing going...while you are on the saltwaterfish.com website, pick out a picture you think you can do better with and start clicking.
Elite Photo thinks our Diamond Goby looks dead compared to his...we'll let you decide.
Have fun and post additional questions or comments here.
