Ag donner - missed the pic! Steenies are my favourite fish to hunt... I've not been that keen on posting my pics either, though I've not found the double figure yet.
I have to say though, the comment here looked more like a light-hearted joke compared to some claims/debates of photoshopping seen in other posts.

if its with reference to my comment,then yes,nothing more than a light-hearted joke and no harm intended.if read and understood correctly then one will see that there is no accusation of the pic being photoshopped.I must say though, it is however a pic with a difference ,not your 'usual everyday quality',this one seems to 'stand out' with unusual quality.almost too good to be true type of thing.again,no suggestion of pic being 'shopped'.what I do find in general is that very often a comment is heard or read and without proper understanding thereof,misinterpretations,incorrect assumptions and everything else negative seems to follow and we all know where that ends up, don't we? So, for the record, once again guys, just a little bit of humour from my side with absolute no suggestion otherwise.as for those who misinterpreted the comment,I strongly recommend you understand it first for what it is.......nothing more than a light-hearted joke,before assuming anything else.also, a big congrats to the angler and a bigger thumbs up for releasing such a very fine specimen. Many of us anglers wouldve kept such a fine 'trophy'without a doubt. Just my 2c
@sharkbait, thanks for clearing it up, also for the record, my post was not aimed at you, but rather in general, as it could have easily become "one of those" topics. It was a mere warning to other who is qiuck to critise without much evedince.
Come to think of it I did not even remember thinking it was you who posted the original comment...

You can hardly ever post a pic of a fish these days without some tool telling you it's photoshopped. It could be clearly seen that image was not photoshopped.
People need to get their facts straight before they accuse. It is pretty obvious when an image is photoshopped (Lighting differences, absense of shadows, Jagged edges etc)
@ Marshie Great catch, a steunbras that size is a real trophy fish, well done!

I think it's because people just aren't used to seeing good quality pics here. How often do you get cell phone shots or kitchen pics. Ok, sometimes you don't have a choice but I think people can make a better effort if they want to share their pics.
Consider investing in a waterproof/shockproof digital camera like the Cannon D10 or the Pentax Optio W80/W90. I have the older W20 and it takes great pics too. Below is an underwater pic of a huge anemone.
You can also do yourself (and Sealine) a favour by creating an online album on a specialised site (like Google's Picasa Web Albums) to upload your pics. This allows you to insert multiple good quality pics into a single post (like above) using the IMG tag (Insert Image button at the top of the editor). It saves Sealine's disk space and bandwidth because the image is loaded from the other site (which makes Sealine load faster for everyone). It also allows people who aren't registered members on Sealine to view your pics.
There is of course the matter of taking a good quality pic, which means the person holding the camera needs to do a decent job. Lighting is an important factor: take the position of the sun into account. I tend to take (or request) a few shots each time to make sure I have a decent one in the batch. Shades help when the sun is shining in your eyes!
Taking good pics in low light or into the sun isn't easy, but standard digital cameras are getting better at it!
I love seeing good quality pics with the sea in the background! It not only shows the fish, but also gives an idea of the conditions you fished. So what if you leak a hint at the location? We're here on Sealine to share, right?
Good luck to all!

Well said Jaccil! Cant stand kitchen pics or the like. Pitty that some guys messed it up for the rest of us and I missed the pic!
Awesome post Jaccil!!
personally, i use photobucket
some photos may look shopped because of the quality. especially if the camera focuses on multiple targets - then each "object" in the pic looks kind of separate and a level above the standard "2D" look of a pic. well, its that or jealousy
and, i dont believe photoshopped pics can be spotted that easily. i myself have no skills with the program, but my friends do. and they can make a pic look really real!! I think i may ask one of them to "make" a pic for me and post it here . . .see how easy it is to spot itsomeone mentioned that you see blocky edges . . .not with proper vector art.
