it would be nice if people voted for photo skills, not your favorite coral... Macro shots dont = great photo skills

Agree. Both are nice, I tend to vote for pics like 10 myself.

While I get some of the others have great color I love #13 as it shows a natural image of it.

Uhm, is 2 not a goniastrea?

Its indeed always tricky when voting as its too many factors, like coral choice, its color, type of shot being a single coral a garden or a closeup and of course the technical photography aspects and composition... guess it comes down to personal taste in the end.

Wow. This gets harder by the month. Hahaha thoes are some very very nice shots.

 

[vetteguy53081]

Yes- Gratitude to Maroun for doing this each month although I never win . . . LOL

Uhm, is 2 not a goniastrea?

its a favia and the subject for photo of the month

 

[Silent]

Uhm, is 2 not a goniastrea?

That is probably favia due to the fleshy appearance. Many get confused between the two so sometimes they all get lumped in together. They are closely related.
