If your refering to #1 rod, the only thing done to that pic was a little clean-up of dust. The backround is black because of the overhead flashes and the position of the fish in the front of the tank when I took the shot. He was actually out of the spot I wanted him in to take the pic and this was the result.rod long;3181075; said:it was hard this month. but i thought you werent allowed to black out the background? still sweet pic. but i voted 13.
