The Neurergus kaiseri from Vide Ohlin is a truly evocative photo. I hope to get this message through just to say what a lovely picture it is.

John,

I had time set aside yesterday to work on some photos for the competition.....but my computer pooped out on me. I should have it up and running tomorrow and will try to get some photos entered soon.

Excellent Travis. I am looking forward to seeing them . I'm going to take one or two myself.

 

[David Tobler]

Can I resubmit a couple pics? I sent large files originally, that the color saturation wasn't right on.

 

[Mark]

Hi David, yes, feel free to re-submit as you see fit.

 

[John]

Wow, there are only 2 weeks left in the competition and we're still missing some big names.

I have not looked at this thread for several weeks now. It is definitely a treat for the eyes! I have never been a big fan of coffee table books but looking at these pics makes me wish that there was one out there dedicated to caudates.

Kaysie suggested something like that before. I'm not sure of the logistics but maybe we should give it some consideration. We would have to ask everyone for permission.

All those latest entries are really gorgeous, a book would be great indeed. Seeing the detail on some of these pictures makes me want a new camera.

Mark, are those really c. orientialis? i have never seen such a color pattern before.
