Ricordea Dreams

wow....I wish I had a better word...but the color there is amazing.

probably my fav the colors are unreal

You totally ruined it by puting your name all over it. Good job.

Fixed it. didnt think NR allowed us to change the image once posted. The watermarked shot was for someone else.

I title this: Ricordea Dreams.

Because he was just waking up

Yippi! Voting started!

Vote for this shot if you like it. Aint' it beautiful?

Thanks to all those that Voted!

that is a beauty. where did you get it?

Picked him up at Tropical Fish in Orange CA.

The color variations between Purple, Pink, Green, and White caught my eye and I thought they would look great under a Macro Lense. Boy was I right!

These Ricordeas are simply amazing subjects for Macrophotography. I took the liberty of uploading a 1024x768 image so if you click on the picture you can see this Ric a Vivid detail. Maybe even right click it and turn it into a desk top for yourself

Grab your camera and take a Macro Shot today! :-P

Wow, that holds up so well enlarged! Stunning. Would have made a great psychedelic poster back in the 60s...

If your a Child of the 60's, Vote for me!

I dont think Ill even make second place with such stiff competition this month.

I think we should have at least 10 winners! (And I'm not even pushing mine--just thought I'd get in the spirit of things but by the time I entered there were already way too many superb shots--like yours--for me to have any chance of getting even one vote!)Think of the book we could produce with all these shots...

Seriously, I wish "Pocket Expert Guide: Marine Invertebrates" would use some of our shots to update their guide. There is just so much missing that is common place here at nano-reef.

Better yet nano-reef publishes there own guide!

The online version ($FREE$ Since we do all the work )

The glossy paper version ($29.95 for the bookstores and LFS's near you!)

This is just a joke/spoof image. People have this funny idea that they should get paid for their photos. The idea that we would offer our Macro shots for free to this cause is kind of nieve on my part. Who would by a book like this when all your answeres are just a click away right here!

I would! Have you ever tried the search function? :-)

I love the net but books have another important place in life. I've actually thought one could create a business that specialized in mining all the excellent forums online for the best info and pics, and producing a volume for each forum. In my idea they would be loose-leaf volumes, sort of like the old TFH Tropical Fish binder, so that updates could be added regularly. "Somebody should do this."

Love your mock-up!

I guess you start your own Board, pick a topic, toss a disclaimer on it saying everything you say and and every picture you post can be used without permission. That should work.

haha
