Greater Cleveland Aquarium
I'm shooting for photographer of the year here. Keep that in mind. Tread lightly all but the bravest critic!

And my greatest all time achievement, won by my good friend, Battlemaster the Hap. sp 44 "Thick Skin". Second place in Class 9 (Haps - Victorian Basin). He colored up like a painting in the sun and snatched 2nd out of two entries in a very strong division. He then proceeded to earn a grand total of $3 for the Jim Smith Fund in his search for a new home. A real winner.

Oh, I almost forgot. I'm putting this photo on my resume. It came out better than I ever could have hoped.

Congrats on the second place award!
How was the fish showing experience? Had you done it before? Do you think the fish found it rather stressful or was it prepared for the spotlight?

It was my first time and that fish refused to color up. He was stressed and hiding the whole time.

I did not, but I didn't notice a room selling plecocaine. I might have done that. Whoops

we had a great time at the show and it was nice to see so many of you folks made it down...

I kept trying to figure out how many Michiganders were down there and I think the number was close to thirty.
