January, 2020 POTM Contest - Favias!

Daniel@R2R · Jan 2, 2020

Welcome to the Reef2Reef POTM Contest - Photo of the Month

Sponsored by Avast Marine!

This month's subject - Favias

Deadline to Enter: January 31, 2020 at 11:59 pm (EST)

This month, let's focus on what I think is one of the prettiest LPS corals around... FAVIAS!! Remember, the photo has to have been taken by you, and the favia has to be in your aquarium, or the ocean.

This is a photo contest after all and we're looking for the best photograph. Yes, you can use a post-editing product to better your pictures. In fact, we encourage it. And a helpful little tip...don't forget about the cropping feature. I say this every month but composition can have a big impact on a photo. Play around with the cropping tool and it may surprise you.

Prize: POTM Winner Banner, one year free Premium Membership and an Avast Marine Porthole courtesy of Avast Marine. Details below. (Note: Winners located outside the United States will be responsible for applicable shipping costs)
