Christina C. Moore January 12, 2008

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. #5331191

Shelly A. Van Camp January 12, 2008

Beautiful capture and colors, Linda! I love the framing as well!! #5331324

Nikki 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. #5332867
