Looks like #7 will win though...

Personally I think #7 is quite an average photo :/

Does anybody know what kind of pleco is in pic 14?

It is a Rubberlips, L-148, I believe. Great picture

Isn't superb, but it's so odd how the shrimp is on the turtle's head. It must have taken a long time to get the shot.

Perhaps I am not understanding what POTM is.
Lets look at photo quality first, & vote accordingly
Especially since most people wont be voting
After reading the entire thread, so it seems that
Someone should be able to plug their photo in the thread, as
Everyone should have voted before reading the comments.

Very nice line-up, I felt that the
Overall subject matter was decent
Though there are a few photos that don't have
Enough clarity on the photo

To make out the details of the subject.
Well I have taken enough time writing
On the other hand I now have subscribed to the thread.

This post was way two long, sorry for
Having been long winded
And going on & on like there is
No tomorrow, but I feel that I
Know that everyone will vote fairly even if
Someone plugs their own photo in the comments

Sometimes plugging your own photo can also work against you.....lol

Is that a poem?

I always thought that POTM is a contest where people vote for their favourite photo and not a contest to see who has better photography skills?

Of course a well-taken photo will have much better chances in winning the contest I guess since you must be able to see the subject, and that the subject has to interest you enough to make you want to vote

I voted for the best quality photo. It's a lot harder to get a great photo of average subjects than a crappy photo of a nice fish.

Photo 35 is obviously the best photo in regards to clarity and composition.

I agree, I wouldn't say obviously though. I think 13, 14, 21, 34, 35 and 36 are all quality photos from a technical aspect. Few others there that I also think are very nice shots but theres also a few that really don't belong in the competition. Personally, I'll be disappointed if 7 does win, no disrespect to whoever took the photo intended.
