I've extended the Pic for a T-Shirt contest - Win $75

[Slab]

SEND ME YOUR PICS, I've only got 2 people who submitted pics so far! Here, I copied my previous post from the sticky thread:

I want a "real" picture of a "real" Crappie, to put on the front of a T-shirt, with the Crappie.com Logo. I'm looking for something great. Either a Monster Crappie, natural looking, with a background I can erase, or a Great Live Crappie, of just a plain great picture that deserves to be immortalized on a Crappie.com T-Shirt.

To erase a background, I’d need the pic to be taken of the fish in front of a solid colored background so that editing software could easily remove it.

Live crappie would be hard to take a picture of in the wild, I’ve taken many pics of my Crappie in the aquarium and am not satisfied with anything I did. If you do this, good luck, there's all sorts of problems like glare, movement, and flash overexposure with trying this.

A pic that deserves to be immortalized might be of one being held up with a great background, great foreground, or maybe a good looking gal holding it up, of course in good taste.

The winner will receive two Crappie.com T-Shirts, one with his/her winning pic, and one of the other new styles I have online. Plus the winner will receive $75. Yes $75 out of my very own “out of work” pocket.

I will place all the pictures online anonymously and will poll the Crappie.com public as to who the winner is.

This assumes that I have enough contestants, and that everyone sends me their high quality images via an email attachment to [email protected].

Deadline for pictures is Christmas Eve, and we'll see if we can't bang out a winner by the first week in Jan.

Would a picture of a big fillet count? haha

I can get you one in a week of a western slab and as I do that kind of photo editing for a living I can be sure to pose it correctly for you but what is the new dealine?
Thanks

[Slab]

Slabtroller, you submit a pic, and I'll wait for you. thanks

C P, big filet, hmm, as long as it'll look good on a t-shirt! Better come up with something creative!

ed is that christmas eve of 2005? we got a year to come up with a photo
?

[Slab]

Nope, it was last year, xmas. right now, based on the number of entrants I have, I'm closing it probably next week, and I'll post a poll shortly there after.

[slabtroller]

Bad news for us. Just got back from the lake with only one dink (and I mean dink) to show for it. He was all beat up on top of it so I guess I'll have to pass on the picture entry.

Just in case what you have so far is really not good I know of at least 5 wall hangers that are drop dead NICE. Backgrounds are going to be dicey to edit out though.

Cheers

Slabtroller, when you say wallhangers, are you talking about stuffed crappie. Those kinda pics seem to be looking pretty good, and I'd take a shot of a few of them if I was you. Control over the lighting and angle really sets those pics apart and they do look good.

I've received all the entrants to the contest. It'll take some time for me to put them all together, so hang in there. I've got a couple other things I've got to take care of before I can begin a poll for the T-Shirt contest. I'd like to thank everyone for their submissions.
