I like Wanda lots and thought that his would do much better. To get this shot it must have been a bit difficult since fish are always moving around. I think your shot is just terrific. :)

Nice capture, fish can be very hard to photograph. I like the composition of the shot, the colors, though they seem just a touch washed out but that may be Wanda's true colors! The edge around her on the right seems to sharp for some reason, can't quite place my finger on it, but it's just a nit picky thing that jumps out at me personally. A 7

Nice fish portrait. The shallow DOF and bright color gives some good drama.

Add a highlight to the eye and it will give this a bit more life. Very nice as is.

Great Discus shot :0), love the crop and the DOF although the fin would have been great a bit sharper yet a difficult capture I'm sure as I used to have a couple of discus - very timid creatures indeed from what I recall as mine were quite easy to upset if I broke there routine. Be nice to see some of the out takes after the challenge ends... 10

Nice Discus! This is a great shot. I know how difficult it is to capture the image in the water with them moving around all the time! Good luck.
