Our Monthly Photo contest is a fun way to show off your fish and tanks.  Post your photo in this thread to enter!  Superior photo skills are not a requirement, an interesting picture is :)

Rules:

    * Everyone is welcome to participate
    * You can make a single entry only.  Enter your best picture!
    * Photos must be your own, and must be aquarium related.
    * The photo must NOT have been previously entered in an OVAS photo contest.
    * Entries will be accepted until July 24th.  Roughly a week of voting will follow, and the winner will be announced on July 31st.
    * By entering a photo into the contest, you agree to grant OVAS specific usage rights to the photo (for possible inclusion in future photo galleries, newsletters, or promotional material).  You are NOT granting ownership rights, just usage rights.  You may watermark your photo with copyright information if you wish.
    * Photos should be 800x600 or 1024x768 in size, preferably 1024x768.
    * During voting, photos will be voted on by forum members.  One vote per person.
    * Photo Quality matters, but the interest of the photo should come first.
    * You CANNOT vote for yourself.  I will enforce this.


Good luck to all entrants this month!

My best attempt out of 20 pictures  :-[  Featured (sort of) is a Bosemani juvie hatched from PFG's first auctioned spawning mop. I transfered a dozen or so into my 55g and I still have at least 30 to 40 more stuck in a 15 gal...

Thanks! I just redid some of it before that picture was taken. I had to be cautious, as they have fry swimming around.
