Nice capture of the "pied wagtail"..the shallow DOF makes a perfect neutral background for the image. Would be interested to know if this was achieved with the camera or post processing as I have found it extremely difficult to achieve such a blurred effect with my camera setting of 2.8

Yes, this is special. Lovely detail. But how much colour was there originally, as the beak looks just as interesting as the eye?

Edit: just a touch over sharpened.

Cute. Looks like fish that were the victims of a grafettie artist - because the red strip goes through the eyes. You may have been better off with a less tight crop and leaving the whole fish colored, or, leaving the tank colored and desaturating the fish. Good workmanship separating them from the rest of the background.

Tetras? If so, why did you take out the blue? If not, the desat. in this image doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

This is a great shot. An easy 9 - 10. very good work. And like I say: always go out and outdo yourself on the next one.

Love the way the NATURAL colours stand out against the grey of your Puntius Denisonii.
