Exactly where are you looking? Have you read the thread?

ATJ, so nice to see you again. It's been a long time since we spoke.

This was a tough poll. I wrote down all my top favorites, which was seven images. Then I reviewed those seven and got it down to three, and finally made my choice.

After I voted, I checked to see what everyone else had selected. Interestingly, several of my original seven were the ones most voted for. You guys have great taste.

melev, I'm curious to know what ones you liked... if you care to share.

Willistein, I tossed out my list when I emptied the trash earlier. Let's see if I can recall some. For my criteria, I enlarged each image to full size and then tried to imagine it as a Wall Calendar image I would enjoy looking at for 30 days.

My top choices were:
#16
#24
#35
#41

(#48 stood out as unique, as if the clown was lost in a jungle.)

#35 was my final choice, because the fish was perfectly focused and the majority of the fish was visible. I loved the face shots, but decided I wanted to see more of the fish if I was viewing it for a month. And that meant not voting for my own entry.

Which ones did you like?

Hmmm. I wonder who's picture it was? I'm leaning toward it being Gary because of the quoted clue.

I did post pic 48 however it's not in my tank, I shot it at Denmark aquarium. I would personaly prefer a picture that clearly shows a clown or the symbyotic relation with an anemone like pic 2-38-or42
However looking at my clown pic collection this picture kept getting back as it was indeed unique (thanks Melev) because of the macroalga and I guess the framing and lighting were nice, still it's not really representative of clownfishs natural habitat so I'm voting for 42.

Great shots everyone it really is a tough choice.
