[schminksbro]

Very well said and I couldn't agree more.

I was really happy to of been nominated and then win TOTM this year. Now that I see all of the past winners lined up here I have to say that I am blown away by them all!

I know that we have a great thing going here on Captive Reefs and it is awesome to see the community growing, sharing and working together. I know from personal experience that I would not have the wonderful ocean view in my basement that I do without the support of the many members and friends that I have made here on CR. You guys have been a huge help to me and I really do appreciate it!

So good luck to this years winners! We all have something to be proud of.

I agree, we need more people voteing. I really liked july 2010 but I dont like the blacked out background. For me that made me go in a different direction. I think if your going to be a tank of the month or tank of the year winner we should see the tank as is, no photo shopping. all of these tanks are awsome, way better then mine, lol. its hard to only pick one.

I'll take the blame for the photoshopping...when I get the pics and arrange the articles sometimes it just looks better to tweak or remove the backgrounds. There is a certain amount of creative editing that gets applied to TOTM articles to make them into more than the typical member tank thread. You can of course click on the member's tank thread in each of the articles to see the less edited versions.

LOL....I think I've gotten a little better over the last year. I agree you and timmyb may be at the biggest disadvantage in this contest because you were first and I was lower on the learning curve. In preparation for this TOTY contest, I went back through all the TOTM threads to bring them up to par with the current TOTM article formatting. But didn't do a lot with the photos themselves.

Skyhigh starting helping me around February with spiffing up the photos. He has helped me a lot with TOTM so a lot of credit (blame) goes to skyhigh too.
