Golden Scales

An extreme close-up of the scales on a shorthead redhorse. I thought it was a different perspective that not many get to enjoy.

  Thanks! I would love to post, but it isn't exactly JD material, as I would also be present in the photo... Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

    I bet Homo sapiens is still not registered on JD! It would be a new species introduction. Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

        Sorry for that tight rule. I'm actually not against humans on photos on this site when it really is closely related to wildlife, as a byproduct. I'm not even against a purposeful inclusion of people, for example when it shows the relation between people and wildlife.
        
        The reason for now to have this rule, is that it is easy to manage. A grey area is far more subjective and will lead to a lot of discussion.
        
        Ultimately, to me the intend of the uploader is most important. If somebody with good ontopic intentions breaks such a rule, I don't care much.
        
        Anyway, just to let you know that there's some reasoning behind these rules, and that I'm open to debate. Posted 11 years ago

Ok, thanks for clearing that up a little, Ferdy. I agree with you completely on this. It really does depend on the intent of the uploader. I feel that JungleDragon doesn't really need a photo with me holding a fish in one hand and my fly rod in the other. But I still like to share the fish I catch somehow, and what better way to do it than with showing off their natural and beautiful patterns! Posted 11 years ago

The Shorthead redhorse
