Lepperfish Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks matey, all good. There are some fantastic tanks here in the top ten. Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I can't say I know for sure why a photo wasn't selected, but did you qualify under the conditions of entry? ie. Have you ever won a photo comp here or been paid for a picture previously? My first reaction to your photo was that the watermark was the name of a photography company? In other news, I just realised that my filter intake had pulled away from the glass before I took my picture. I honestly didn't notice for days after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I may have missed it, but are we voting on the quality of the tank or the quality of the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I may have missed it, but are we voting on the quality of the tank or the quality of the photo? It is a bit of both. It is how well the photo fits the theme The Theme - "Cichlid - Full Tank Shot" The photo could be planted tank with apisto's clearly visible or could be solid rock wall with some Africans. Photos MUST be a "Full Tank Shot" & have a cichlid / cichlids clearly visible. and how well it has been taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saratoga Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I may have missed it, but are we voting on the quality of the tank or the quality of the photo? The Aquarium Hobbyist Photo Comp is designed to encourage the home hobbyist to show & share their fish, tanks and photo skills. Though all photo's are welcome and noting many top photographers here @ ACE... With this comp we wish to focus & encourage amateur photographers and will have some rules to reflect this. The Theme - "Cichlid - Full Tank Shot" The photo could be planted tank with apisto's clearly visible or could be solid rock wall with some Africans. Photos MUST be a "Full Tank Shot" & have a cichlid / cichlids clearly visible. Quoted from HERE. The comp intention was to get amateur photographers to share their tanks. Its open to wide interpretation and a personal choice. Your choice could be a very pleasing landscape / fish combo & nice quality pic or it could be a great quality photo with a less pleasing tank layout.... or could be a choice of anything else that please's your eye... hence... Some very good entries did not make the Top 10. Shows that the ACE Team's personal preferences are as broad as the entries were. Hmm ... I still havnt voted yet.... it is also a hard choice for me for all the above reasons and many others. Oww... and may I offer the best of luck to all our Top 10. Cheers Joe *edit* lols... thanks Ged, had a phone call in middle of composing my reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever won a photo comp here or been paid for a picture previously? My first reaction to your photo was that the watermark was the name of a photography company? I did win a comp on here once. The watermark is just a personal thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
