I have to say the thought of kissing that fish kinda disturbs me but excellent composition and color. My favorite at first glance of your work.

I totally missed this one in voting. The colors are beautiful. By all means sell this as a print. It will make a great one.

If this is really a stopped motion then this must have been a fast kiss!

Excellent photo! I'm sure some will not see this one as a stopped motion shot, but I've had many fish and tried to photograph them. I know how difficult it is to get the proper lighting much less stop the motion. To have the "fluttering" fins stopped rather than blurred and the mouth open like this is outstanding. Congratulations on this shot and best of luck in the challenge!

Great macro - excellent colors, composition, and exposure. The fin patterns are a true visual treat.

Captivating image with an amazing array of colours.
A quick run through "Neat Image" would have tidied up the noise in the background perfectly
Nicely captured.

Great image though I´m not sure how good it is for the challenge. But in any case the colors composition, focus and sharpness are all very good.

09/20/2004 10:17:59 AM
the idea was not to have motion blur...where exactly is the sense of motion?

Great photo! I don't feel it really attack the challenge, but I know how difficult it is to photograph fish!

A mild pass through NeatImage or similar programs would have lessened the graininess unless you wanted the grain effect. Lovely colors ... very electric!
