I knew it would win i wanted the cichla though, awesome pic!
i thought it was the best picture out of all of them, but i voted for a different one simply because i thought it was Photoshopped. Wonderfull picture and it DID deserve a win regaurdless of what i thought.
i knew it was you.... Congrats on the win.... lots of black arows always has my vote... only a group of asian arows can top that...

Yea, awesome pic. Honestly, I also didnt vote for it because I thought it was a bunch of pics photoshopped together, but that doesnt mean its not an awesome pic. And you must have put work into it also. It is also my new wallpaper!

And if you are ever allowed to sell a copy by whatever copyright, please let me know, if you remember.
I'd like that pic on my wall. About a five by two foot framed print. Over the fireplace. In my living room. That's how much I like it!
No idea about the rules on that commercial stuff here on this board and I apologise if I upset the board moderators, this is the first time I've looked at the POTM part of this site...
Good grief, what an example to set...!
Best Regards,
Soggy
BTW I'm going to post one anyway. I've just figured out what to call my Leiarius cat, rubbish pic in comparison by I have to start somewhere. Give me an electron microscope and I could show you something about photography but that's another story.

Hi SalmonAfrica,
Cool site here is it not. Explains why I'm here and not on the practical fishkeeping site yet. That's good too but this place is just ............ waaaa!
Talk about an ideas factory! I'm still digging around when I have time. Need to get back to job interview prep for next week. Will post a cruddy pic for nexts months POTM. Not trying to follow this one. Can't!
Regards,
Soggy
