1st ANNUAL PHOTO OF THE YEAR CONTEST - PART II

[Gr8KarmaSF]

:popcorn:Down to the top 5 - let the voting begin!:popcorn:

After 689 entries and over 7,573 votes (yes, I did the math), it is now time for our first annual PHOTO OF THE YEAR CONTEST! Since my take over was midyear in May 07 we were not able to hold a POTY contest that year hence, all previous winners since my undertaking will be included in this contest.

The POTY contest will occur in two parts.
Part I - All previous winers will be entered in a poll from Dec 1 - 15.
Heres the link to Part I - http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190843

Part II - Top 5 winners from Part I will be entered in a final vote off from Dec 15 - 31.

This will be the hardest vote ever! Thank you to everybody that ever voted and entered.

This thread is a mess, Neo and I are tired of cleaning it up. Any and all further accusations or discussions of the validity of any pics will result in an infraction.

All pics have been determined eligable by the MFK staff.

[High City Rida]

Lets all vote for the best Photo. I can't wait to see who wins. There all really great shot's. I at least though Turtle Slayer's photo would have made it but oh well. There are some great shot's to choose from.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Thank you kind sir...

[High City Rida]

Thank you kind sir...

No problem at all. I just want to give everyone a chance to see these amazing shots. Of course I am a fan of them all. But there can only be one. :headbang2:popcorn:

[Yanbbrox]

1. is one of those shots you'd wish you taken at some point and clearly got it right.
2. Is so funny with the expressions and a great capture
3+4. The detail captured is simply amazing
5. The composition is top class

[cichlaguapote]

Profile 100 is a whole series of books from japan*.. They have different issues like this is the arowana volume, they have an jurassic fish volume, and I think a ton of other types of fish in different volumes.

Not sure how rare it is. But I'm into collecting some of the overseas books as even if you can't speak the language the pictures are usually amazing. :drool: A book like this can bring alot of enjoyment. And start a fish book obsession.. lol Waaay cool prize.. :headbang2

*I believe they're japanese, I have the jurassic fish issue but been a while since I looked at it.

I 2nd that!! It's a great shot.

[sdothogg]

nice shots

[---XR---]

between #4 and #1 - #4 is the technically better taken photo, very high quality, but #1 is an amazing capture, very amazing.

if you could take #1, and shoot a remote flash over it, and clean it up a bit- it'd be one of the highest quality shots i've ever seen taken.

i know which one i chose, not telling though.

[Tongue33]

Stop Chritmas shopping and VOTE :D:D
