Sorry, but thats one more picture there I don’t understand the number of votings. It’s maximum medium class. For me it looks like self and/or friendvoting :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

:D :D :D Sorry, but thats one more picture there I don’t understand the number of votings. It’s maximum medium class. For me it looks like self and/or friendvoting

:D :D :D The subject in my photo (pseudosimnia is the very small white animal in the middle of the photo) in the book “A diver’s guide to underwater Malaysia macro life” at the page 458 / 459 is described as “difficult to see but very beautiful....”. This is the reason because of I don’t understand and appreciate the things that you have written me. Good dive.

The problem is, that everybody has to search the little thing in the middle of you picture :shock: . The most cameras have a macro or supermacro mode for that small things. In my picture you don’t have to search the shark and the votings are from persons that I don’t know and that votings are making me happy because they are honest :D :D :D

I’ve just checked my underwater photos from the Philippines. I have also one picture of “pseudosimnia punctata” that you’ll see next week in the contest. Maybe you understand then, what I mean    

If you check the features of the photo, you can see that the camera has got “macro on”, but the pseudosimnia was really very small. It isn’t my fault if you can’t identify the macro features very well :shock:  :shock: . It isn’t very honorable of you to qualify yoursel as “supreme judge” :oops:  :oops: . That means that I won’t reply your post anymore.
Very good dive. :D :D

I don’t want to be a “Supreme Judge” in this contest and I understand that it’s sometimes not easy to make good pictures of really small things. The thing that I don’t understand is, that really excelent photos like the “longnose hawkfish” gets only a few votes and other not so good pictures like for a example (sorry) yours gets a lot of votes. That shows me, that something is wrong ....

I’m not the “bad boy” who wants to make people angry....
