Same for me, either try a refresh or hold shift and hit refresh, that should fix it for you.

Cantonesefish · 04/18/2011, 01:21 AM

wow, the paucifasciatus are stunning! the color difference between the first and second individuals is very interesting...

These photos are from Al Lith, an area south of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The fish on the avatar is a male Genicanthus personatus that I photographed at the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
