 I'm pet-sitting my friend's fish that she won at the fair last weekend. Having never had a fish I am fascinated by the thing. And I was wondering whether it was true that goldfish have 3-second memories and if they have feelings...

Set up the white cube, and two strobes. If he wasn't blind before, he is now.

Import into LR. Curves, Vibrance and Clarity adjustments. Was trying to bring out more of the bubbles. I wanted to get the fish blowing a kiss to the camera but he wasn't having any of it. Then I ran out of time, and patience. If this had been an advanced challenge, I would have put the bubbles in a heart shape, but anyway. I don't expect this to score well but I'm entering for the fun of it.

I have to remember to feed the thing otherwise both of us will be dead.

The only thing tying this photo to the challenge is the title.

Excellent photo tho, nicely executed.

The centered composition works very well with this. I can't decide on the border though. It does emphasize the black of its eye, but it seems so heavy too.

Sorry but expect a barrage of DNMC comments...
