And you wouldn't have had others backing him up and verifying the veracity of the photos were it not for the initial doubtful postings. Without those doubters, many Canreef members may be left with the impression of "Gee, those corals look too good to be true" and would not have had the benefit of the verifying posts. In fact, I submit, that CC has in fact acutally benefitted from the doubting posts as this thread has evolved.
I'd be the first to question him about what he has done to the photos but in a polite way. People just started to assume he enhanced them before asking and then after he answered people then continued to assume he has enhanced them. He isn't selling here and even if he was, just don't buy them if you don't think its a "real" photo.

He only got this response because he is a vendor (in another country) and its wrong. He can't sell here. So what...he got a big buzz over something that isn't going to make him any money amongst the buzzing people. And trust me, whatever buzz is happening in Canada isn't going to help him in the US. For one, half the states barely know Canada exists and the rest don't give a...

Im not too sure what benefit he has gained in a market he cannot make money off of legally. Please explain.
