I've just had my attention drawn to this wonderful image of which I had previously been unaware. What a magnificent shot!

WOW! I never saw this before. Fine, fine image! I'm not surprised it won in a natural history competition.

I love this shot. It is almost abstract, and draws you right into where you should be looking. straight down the gullet of a big fish!

what a rush! this is an image that just sucks you in. that open, gaping mouth is perfectly placed.

My 10 of the challenge. I liked this one on PP and like here too. Great action.

Nice shot, I just wish you had been able to use a faster shutter speed to reduce the motion blur on the koi.

This is digusting, disturbing, and really wonderful all at the same time. Whoa- don't drop you F-717 into there...

Excellent, the open mouthed fish makes it :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I got to admit that this shot has a lot of action, a lot of color, a lot of texture... It's not a very interesting thing to look at though...

That fish in the middle just makes it

dayum! What a dynamic photo. Love the sharpness of the moouth near the middle and motion blur of the rest. Congrats. Jacko. 10

Superb capture, just enough blurring to accentuate the movement and reinforce the frenzied activivity. The colour variations are an added bonus.
Hope this gets placed

The open mouth is wonderful (and a bit comic!)

Great colors, great composition and the fish really are in action. That one with its mouth wide open really makes the picture.

Great shot, especially with the one open mouth in the middle and all those others spiralling around it. great colors as well. 10

I think this has a bit too much action for my liking. I love Koi and their colors are outstanding. Not a bad shot, just too much of it.

Lots of action in this shot. I like how all the fish, but one are in furious motion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good action shot. Excellent color. interesting swirling feel. The eye is drawn to the fish in the middle with his mouth open.
