hate to ask, but can some of these pics be moved? distracts from the rules/regs etc
also, does the pic need to be resized to 500x500 like other picture contests, or the whole wham effect from a huge pic ok?

Well yes you have to take the pic. If you use a pic someone else took that would be a violation of copywrite laws... VERY illegal. Trust me, I deal with people stealing my photos from my web sites about 2-3 times a year at least.

ADMIN....I see my new pic up on the site now, How cool :) I think that the winner for each category should have their real name and their user ID though as apposed to just my the winners real name only...so people know which user took the photo. what do you guys think?

Thanks Admin.
Next thing I was wondering about... Should people be allowed 2-3 photos of the same species in a single post? cause thats like doubling or trippling their chance to win isnt it? Say I like photo one but not photo 2 from a user, and say you like photo 2 but not photo 1, then that user still ends up with both votes. doesnt seem to make sense. And then if that user does win which photo actually won? I personally think each post/user should only have one photo of each species in a single post. That way the voting is done fairly and is done with a single photo.

I was thinking/wondering the same thing. I admit, I posted 2 of my Powder Blue because I couldn't decide which I liked better. Should those of us that did that just go back and delete whatever is necessary in order to submit only 1 photo entry for any specimen?
