Thank you for the option of using an alternate image server. Also I noticed last time that the directions say atleast 640x480 when CR albums limit to 600px. Should be an interesting one.

[Sir Patrick]

Cool contest!! Thx Kees!!

Im off to find a good red target to shoot!

Thanks, they're 800 px. ;)

Although I'm not 100% sure, I think if your image uploaded is right size already (<800 px wide and tall) that GD2+, the server side image processor that we decided was responsible for lowering photo quality, will leave them alone. If someone wants to test this and let me know, it would be good info.

They're both to blurry I think, really need to take some time with this camera...find the mirror lock...;)

[jimsflies]

I'll have a the poll up to pick the winner in the next day or so.

[jimsflies]

Congrats to ReeferRob, winner of the Luscious Reds contest.

We had two votes to decide on the winner this month, the first one is here (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10841) which provides a nice look at all of our entries.

Then the rematch vote is here (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11009) which pitted ReeferRob against iyachtuxivm.

Thanks to everyone who entered last month. We had a lot of very nice photos. Be sure to checkout our current contest (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10799), which is wide open as not very many have submitted photos yet.
