Help A Fellow Hobbyist/Breeder

Hey everyone I just thought I would post this up for extra eyes. I'm looking for that PERFECT, 10/10, brightest yellow and least amount of browning pastel. I am looking for that "FLAWLESS" example of the morph and I can't seem to find that "one". I'm looking for a female and I'm willing to pay extra for the quality, since you usually get what you pay for. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone, you have made us really feel like a real part of the BP.net family.

Idk if he still has her available, but John Hannum has a very nice 900 gram pastel female, he is john1982 on the forum. One of the best looking pastels I've ever seen.

I haven't seen any for sale recently, but I can keep my eyes open!

Rabernet (Robin Abernethy???) produces some insane Pastels...

one side-note, something to consider: when i look at pictures, one thing i see a lot is people playing around with color settings and color saturation.

and even when that isnt the case, lighting and what camera you use makes a HUGE difference. sometimes the same raw file, viewed and edited and converted with different software, can lead to wildly different results.

for example, i just came across this, same snake, same age, different camera, different lighting:

one picture says more than 1000 words.... well, i guess one picture can also deceive more than 1000 words. im not blaming anyone or accusing anyone of doing anything deliberately, its just, when someone skilled in photography with good equipment really tries to bring out the colors, the results can be really stunning.

when you shop for a pastel, where its all about the colors, this may complicate things.

Thanks for the help so far everyone! You all rock!

I completely agree, there are people who go around an mess with their photos to make them look better than they really are. I make it a point to make sure that all photos I post are in their original form. The only editing I do is to crop and add my logo to the photos.

There are far too many people in this hobby that misrepresent their animals.

This ^^. I don't edit or alter a thing. My photos are posted as shot. With the exception of adding my watermark. I don't like It when people mess with their photos/colors. I don't need a photo program to post my pictures.
