What a great shot, I wish I had a fish like this.....

yup - 'mist' is right - looks mighty tastey. Although I am thinking more on the line of scampi style. :D

Nice. Looks like a tasty little fish. Yum. I like fish. Don't eat enough of them though really. This one looks like it'd be good to eat lightly fried in a touch of olive oil, then finished off with some herbs and served with a good, fluffy, rice. Or maybe some salad.

Nice pic. Greater DOF would have improved score here and made a better picture IMO.

I like the title. Very sharp shot & nice crisp colour. The BG (lower left) is a bit distracting but I'm sure it couldnt be helped. 7

Nice lighting and rendering. I thought it was a real fish at first, but now I'm not so sure. The reflection looks more like glass or porcelain that the texture of a fish's body.

A little out of focus.

Bubbles! Bubbles!!!! I like bubbles!!! (Finding Nemo)

Interesting shot but the white is out of place.

This one reminds me of Finding Nemo. =) Very good detail in the eyes and the flesh. The white in the lower left is a bit distracting but overall, nice shot.

i think a bit more depth on the fish needs to be here - you did get the eye in focus, which was the essential part.

Great color. Very nice.

A higher F stop setting would bring more of the fish into focus.... very colorful though.. good light balance.. bad thing for the challenge is that piscies is a pair of fish and theres only one in the shot

Great depth of field. Very nice detail and focus. Very vibrant yellow color with the black background really helps the subject pop out of the shot.

Try it with a smaller aperture, the tail is out of focus, while the head is in focus. I don't know might have been your intent, but I think it would look better with the whole thing in focus. I also think that the white at the bottom of the picture is a little distracting.

Great shot. I had a yellow tang forever. Great fish, great personality.

Back to the photo. Very clear, great color, nice background and a really good overall "feel" to the photo. Nice one.

One of the nicer fish photos. Just a bit more depth of field and it would have been even better.

One of the better fishes... Nice color and contrast. Well done!

very cute, just the background is distracting [I'm sure you'll hear that again] but great color and subject

Cool tang! Bad spelling! No worries! :-)

Great shot of the fish. Lower left background is a little distracting

Nice compositon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot! It is almost perfect. A bit more DOF is greater to focus all fish body.

The fish looks nervous! Nice color, would've been better if the background was all black. 7
