I've been doing a lot of fish photography lately and so know how technically difficult it is. This is a particularly nice shot. Not only have you gotten good clarity on the fish, but have managed to create an appealing abstraction out of his environment. Kudos on this fine image. #5331191Shelly A. Van Camp January 12, 2008
Beautiful capture and colors, Linda! I love the framing as well!! #5331324Sandra R. Alvey January 12, 2008

Linda, the colors and composition of this amazing photo are breathtaking. It's so hard to shoot through the aquarium glass, but you've made it look easy.Nadya Johnson January 13, 2008
great shot! I really like the way you framed this and the vibrant colors, too! #5332385Nikki McDonald January 13, 2008
This is such a cool aquarium shot, Linda. The framing is perfect and of course the colors and clarity are right on. I had the same reaction as Sandi--everything is so "together" in this capture that I thought immediately of an animated film. I believe that there are no effects--but only because you say so :) This is amazing. #5332867Karen Bacon January 13, 2008
Terrific composition Linda!Great job shooting through glass,not an easy thing to accomplish! #5333120Susan Heath January 13, 2008
