excellent picture without a doubt but i thought fish of the month and year competitions were judged on the overall health and stance of the individual fish...... we can only see its head
Yeah i totally agree, my point came across wrong i basicly meant that any fish common or not could win if it was a super close up macro shot, rather than a full length shot when you get the perspective of the full fish.
i can only agree with that i have been looking at the past few fotm and have noticed that people are taking more notice of the shot rather than the actual health/stance of the fish like you said, if you have a super macro camera you could win it with a common fish like a platy.
