    Colorful Species/Subspecies

    Almost all the wild agassizi color 'types' I have gotten have had a lot of nice color, especially in good light. Panduros are nice too IMO. *EDIT* How could I forget the A. bitaeniata 'rio tigre' ?!

    FYI - I will be heading out to the woods for the next five days. There is no internet service, so if you send in a submission, and don't hear from me, don't worry, I'll get back to you by July 9th.

    Just a heads up -- please send me as large of a file as possible -- 1MB is a minimum, larger is better - so that it uploads nicely to the photobucket system which allows each image to be downsized to the same size. Additionally, I may offer to crop some of your photos if they display more...

    Additionally, if photo submitters would like a public (or private) critique of their photo -- they can speak up after the contest ends in the voting post, say, "Hey, this is mine -- why or why not did you vote for my photo -- what could I do better?", and I'm sure they might get some good...

    VOTE - JUNE 2013 Picture of the Month

    That's an interesting question and one that can only be answered by those that vote; I don't think it is up to me to tell people how they should vote; except for outlining the specifics of the contest. There were several photos that were capable of winning this month. There were 22 voters...

    Aquarium Photography Tips from Nikon

    Yeah, Mike, I think he is probably looking at big fish in a public aquarium. Those tetras and livebearers are tough to get!

    whats up all!
