Default Sample entry only (Not eligible for Contest)

Hey Mike G. :

Good idea! I could sure use a Swordlight: after the last one got mangled up with a mostly newbie "swordfishing" crew aboard the, SS Disaster. Are you sure that you cannot finnegle a way to host a 1 Million $US photo contest? If I come up with any ideas, I will let you know. I am going to ask Tony Albelo if he has any recommendations.

I need to remember to bring the Digital camera on all fishing adventures for the next few months. Hey just saw your PM. I am drawing blanks for a new swordfish image; although, I must say that you could possibly animate one of the photo contest entries for a new image.

I thought I would give it a try just for giggles and as an example. Also seeing that FinalPoint is one of the judges for this contest, I thought that the sample photo would be a fun post.

Feel free to cut and paste this sample format for real Photo contest entries. It could may your life go just a wee bit smoother, and allow you to spend more time in the Fishing Babes section of the Photo Gallery.
