You Jammy devil!

You mean to say Goldie just posed like that by herself! What a pro!
What luck - not to say patience, you must have had. Even her little eyebrows are raised in shock horror - (eyebrows? - I really must get out more!). This is just ace, as they say - You must immediately send it to lots of mags - I am sure there is a big future for Goldie, or at least, the photographer.

I would be tempted perhaps, to blow up the section with Goldie on, so she is slightly bigger in the frame, to be absolutely perfect, but that is just me - the picture is a classic - I would get a framer to make a 16x20 inch or so for your wall - I am sure it would be a great talking point for visitors, and could get you known more in the area as a great photographer. Very well done, and lighting is beautiful. Must have been difficult with a full bowl to avoid items from behind showing. Congratulations!

Congratulations Terri...PM'd you to chat with you about your image edit. This is such a great pose by the fish it was worth the 100 shots and wear and tear on your shutter

I'm so glad to see this winning, great shot!

I wanted to shoot a picture for an ad in Switzerland, also using a goldfish in such a classic goldfish bowl. When I went into a pet shop to get the fish, the people there were outraged and told me that keeping goldfish in a bowl had become illegal (in Switzerland). You need a big aquarium with proper aeration, etc. and you're not allowed to have a single fish, they need to have companions. I told the sales person the fish would just be in the bowl for a few minutes, but that just got her more upset. Well, maybe I'll have to do it in a different country because people just expect goldfish to be in a bowl like that, it's the image we all have of them. However, I would first like to try and find out if being in a bowl really is such a horrible experience for them...
