it's great you can take photos......but the fact that you think every one of yours is better than anyone else's is ridiculous, 987 has an amazing photo, and i think worth the votes 987 has gotten over yours...this contest is supposed to be fun, but you whinning about every single contest you lose makes it crappy...if you lose, you lose, just let it go and let the people who do win have fun and enjoy their pictures winning.

I haven't seen ANYONE complain about the fact that you have a photography hobby. Anyone.
I have seen numerous complaints about your attitude, snide remarks, negative comments about other pics, etc. You have been warned repeatedly.
You further have not helped your case by creating new accounts just to comment on photos.

Everyone who owns a digital and visits fish forums has a photo hobby. That is not exactly unique. And frankly, I have seen some awesome pictures posted by many members at SWF, and other hobby sites, that are professional-grade, and they didn't have your name on them.
This contest is about SWF members having some fun, not about PhotoElitie's amateur hour photo opportunities and being a poor sport.

Sorry, but.....I personally found that 987654321's photo was tremendously better than yours, that's why I voted for it.

It would intice me to buy one more than yours.

Thats the critiria here, I have lost several so far, but I'm not cryin'.

I know there is alot of things going on in this tread, But I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has voted for my picture.

Personally i voted for 987. Elite's pic was nice but the backround is in better focus than the star. Fantastic if your trying to sell the rock behind the star.
Looks to me there is only one hater around. Most people have nothing but nice things to say about others pic's.

elite - i hope you didnt think i was hating. i too claim photography as one of my hobbies and am fortunate enough to have a nice camera to take pics with (canon digital rebel xt, ef 28-135mm lens). i really enjoy all of your photos. what settings do you reccommend when shooting fish? i assume you use the manual setting on top and adjust everything yourself?
