"sniff sniff" you dont like my picture??? Just kidding, there are some really good pictures in this group. Good luck guys, nice shooting!

 

[renogaw]

heh, i liked yours, but...
i am wondering who is voting for SWF.com's... must be admins trying to save a buck LOL.
personally i havent been looking at swf's pics because they don't link directly TO the pic and it takes too long to find it.

thats funny, and here I was feeling bad because I thought I was being really lazy. I guess I dont feel so bad if I am not the only one. I have looked at some of theirs, although I like the pictures in a more "natural" setting as opposed to a picture with the fish (or in this case crab) in the corner of a tank with no substrate or what not (actually the SWF emerald is on someones hand). This contest is a great idea.

man SWF is getting a lot of votes in this particular poll. I think its going to be a run away between SWF and Zexx. Oh well, maybe I will fair a little better in a different section haha.

The one one SWF.com is very cute, though...you don't think that's a natural setting? A hand? No?

Blaze...yours is great! If only he was a bit more green...
Zexx...great emerald crab shot! Gotta love those legs!

 

[sk8shorty01]

Yeah Zexx is going to win this one hands down it seems. His picture is great, at least I got some votes other than my self haha. I really like the shot he has. Blaze's pictures are also very good, although I agree it would be much better if his particular crab was more green. Its still a very good picture, and you cant fault him for the color.

I agree that while blazes picture is top notch, unfortunatly the specemin is a full grown less atractive crab, rather than the young bright crab that would be an enticement to buyers. for personal preference I liked Blazes shot best but for marketability I had to go with Zexx, sorry blaze.

 

[gillyweed]

I think they were all excellent shots, but i had to go with Zexx as well for the contrast. His shows off the color better with the sharp contrasts; Blaze's crab blends into the rock behind it

 

[blaze98]

Thanks for the votes guys

I wish my crab were a bit greener, but he is so freaking big I think most of his color "stretched" out, he is at least 3 inches big, in one of the pics you can see a 1 inch blue leg behind him, it makes him look like a monster
