MAAST Pic of the Quarter - Composition - Closed

[CoryDude]

Composition - the act of combining parts of elements into a whole

Allright folks! You've been asking for it and now it's here. Instead of going with a species specific theme, we thought we'd try something a little more challenging. Time to get our your cameras, dust off your polaroids, break out the flash cubes, go buy a disposable camera, or whatever else you use and start snapping pictures. This quarter's contest isn't about who's got the best camera or photography skills. It's about telling us a story.

We want to see pictures with multiple subjects. Whether it's a school of fish, a full tank shot, a section of your tank, or just about anything else in your underwater garden. The images have to be from your aquarium and MUST be taken by you.

Compose your shots or just start snapping away to see what you get. No macro shots or single coral shots, unless you can squeeze something else into the frame. Images tell a story...what is your tank going to tell us?

Here's a few examples just to give you an idea. Best of luck folks!

Especially the 2nd one!

Hey guys, this contest is a pretty open topic, so please don't feel like you can't enter. As long as you have more than one subject in the pic, it's a valid entry. 2 fish, a coral and a hermit, as long as you've combined two or more things, then you pic is eligible.

Quick question... Are you gonna post the winners pic on the hope page or willit forever remain hidden on the contest page? :D Just curious because mine remained hidden and I cant participate in contests for the remainder of the year because I already "won". Kinda feel hosed. Unfortunatley I won't be renewing my charter membership so I won't be able to participate in the future.
