NO MX keeps saturating his photos. I have said it once, ill say it again. I would be pissed if I bought a fish and it didnt look like that. If we are allowed to enter fake photoshopped pics I can spend some time and make all my pics look crazy. But I thought we were to keep it real and take a photo of how the fish really looks??? Sorry admin for posting this up here.

elite,
you have been asked repeatedly to stop with the negativities surrounding peoples photo entries.
I dont understand why you continue to pull the 'photoshop' card.....
Please stop, so that everyone can enjoy this competition as it was meant to be.

Because i dont think fake photos should win. sure if they wanna touch up minor stuff go for it, But to make the photo so fake by altering the color and making some people who dont know better think thats how the fish really looks isnt right. People will buy the species thinking its all bright and amazing in color and get this plain fish they will be un happy with and end up being upset with SWF. I know if I bought a fish that I thought was very vivd in color and it arrived dull I would never buy from that place ever again. I am trying to save people to headache. Wish more people understood. Admin even asked him to post up his REAL un touched photos but he never did reply that I had seen.

I don't see it, where is this picture altered? These fish have a bright yellow face with the flourscent blue stipe and some have a little pink on their back fin. As far as I can see, this is spot on.

I'm not seeing it either but I'm no photoshop expert.
There are OTHER photos out there that look a lot less realistic so I'm not sure what the focus is on this one for.

but you have also been asked to stop makeing posts like this by admin and the moderation team!! Please stop you are ruining the spirit of the contest with your posts and ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!
This also goes goes for everyone else dont get drawn into the antics of one person.
BTW I think admin will disallow photos that are truely way out of character. It is also not up to you or me for that matter you comments on this are unecessary!!!

I'm not taking sides, but I feel Elitephoto should be able to voice his opinion if he wants to. I do agree with him though on the subject that people should not be able to post photoshoped pics LIKE THAT ONE. I've owned one of these and seen many, and their heads are not nearly as intense as this. All I'm saying is anyone can alter a photo and make it a winner. The whole concept of this is to take the best possible photo of a fish in it's natural environment. Is it not? my $2
