    Yes, great pictures everyone.  I hope to have some time to practice some of Bill's photo tips now that I have a few days off work.  I think this is a great idea, btw, and I know it took a lot of work and time on your part Bill.  Thanks for trying to teach and inspire us all to be better photo takers!

    Hey Ben

    Thnks for entering the contest.

    It looks like you have some nice shrooms going on there...
    Are those yellow anemonies to the right of that orange shroom? or are they polyps of some kind?

    I see there's a non-coral entered, a feather duster; I thought it was your favorite coral? Or is it just your favorite tank inhabitant? It's a nice picture at any rate /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    I'm sure we'll have an invert category eventually. At least I hope we will.

    Lol, just keeping you honest /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif  And besides that, it was too good a photo, and with it gone, my chances are a bit better /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif
