fly guy Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 i dont think it's reall' date=' when i magnify the picture by 300% in my CS2 software you can see inc pixells where he made a mistakes.[/quote'] How can you tell that that is a mistake done by editing software vs simply a natural blemish in the tissue of the animal??? Regardless, if it IS phoptoshopped, i think we should take him out for making us almost take him out under false pretenses.............

andy Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Here, check it out blown up: The dot is clearly 'above' the tissue of the ricordia; it obscures line of the ridge in it's flesh. It it was really pigmentation, you'd be able to see the tissue. It also has the classic Photoshop airbrush look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That looks like a dot on the glass or something. Not saying that it isn't photoshopped but I think he played with the color balance more than anything. Look how bright the background is and what about the Red color behind the coral.

andy Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 He did a lot more than just play with the color balance, and that isn't a dot on the glass. It's definitely been airbrushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly guy Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 In that ric you posted Reefin' the purple in it is bright and sweet..almost looks out of place with the brown in it. Is that pic unedited??? I cant imagine changing the colors that much without tweaking the background more but the only thing i know how to mess with on my pics is a little bit of saturation..so i dont color my pics as i cant get away with it : ) Funny thing is the more i look at those pics side by side, the more of the same brown color do i see here and there in the original one i posted Its still pretty sweet, but i wouldnt kill anybody for it ; ) Actually thats not true.......id kill my wifes Chihuahua for it, but that doesnt really count as id kill my wifes chihuahua for free if i was allowed to.(whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly guy Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 That looks like a couple of the other ones i am buying from the guy. Hes got great feedback(not ebay) from other people i know and like i said at the beginning...the too good to be true one wasnt for sale.......he posted it in a thread. Do you have or can you get rics like that SEan?? Out of curiosity....am i the only one........nevermind...im posting a poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 That is one that is in my tank. Unfortunately they don't come in like that very often. I am waiting for it to open up all the way and then I am going to frag it up. I am working on training this supplier so I can get more cool stuff like that all the time.

fly guy Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Well i took a risk and sent that guy we were going to kill some money. I was pleased, the rics i received looked exactly like the ones i picked. They are ticked off in this pic as right when they arrived i glued them and let them sit on the counter for 20 minutes......the following pictures in the tank were taken within an hour of that. They looked AWESOME by the time the lights went out this evening. Anybody looking for some higher end rics I happily will say that donovansreef.com satisfied this rather picky consumer.
