# 6 Slim/Compact Zebra submitted by Ron...congrats!!!!!!!!!!
It was a close contest, thanks to all the participants. Also, thanks for all the voters.
For those of you that attended the MCA auction, you may have seen the bag of 2 Synodontis multipunctatus on the raffle table. The proceeds from that particular bag will go towards funding an award/prize for the online photo contest.
Unfortunately, Marty and I were both incredibly busy at the auction (and it was a last minute idea I came up with for the raffle) so we failed to announce it over the PA system.
Marty and I have some other ideas for promoting the photo contest and the online site in general, so stay tuned before the next auction.

Congratulations Ron

Oh sure a moderator won... ::) RIGGED!
What I really want to know is how you rigged it to get me to vote for his photo???
BTW Congrats Ron.

I didn't mean my previous statement in a cocky kind of way.
My photos are close to pure luck - I simply take enough that some of them turn out good and the remainder get deleted!
