Rainbows at the Icy Edge

Good capture, though I'd like to see it with an adjusted CPF to get some of the surface reflection out of it. Is this a trout hatchery or farm or is it in the wild, where getting three grown trout together would be improbable?

I just saw one almost like this the past day with the woman at the bottom of the frame, but I can't find it now. Was that you also? Nice shot, though it looks like something from CSI. How were you able to get permission for the model to swim in a Koi pond, let alone have her go along with it? Is this a personal pond?

This is a common technique, but you did it well and I appreciate the work involved in doing this well after my only aborted attempt to do this with water. Did you use glycerine, which I think is supposed to be better to work with? It may have been better with the real paper more out of focus.

I'm glad you added title because you can't see the water. Of course this is a tidepool image for those that recognize it.

Lovely glass ball photo. It looks like a wonderful tropical island, which I'm a real softy for 8.

Really nice but scary perspective. I hope the transparency is the glass between you and the alligator/crocodile for you safety, and because the water isn't at all transparent, so I'll vote with that assumption. If you used a CPF it would have helped make the water transparent. Overall I think it's got too much of a green tint to it.

I expected to see a couple of Saran wrapped nude females in this challenge. It looks like this is the closest it gets. This would stand out as a nice photo on its own without the wrap, and of course it only works with the wrap due to the challenge. I'm thinking how silly it would look without the challenge context. Good meeting of challenge and title.

refill?

I gave you a 6 but coming back and looking at it more I'm bumping to a 7. I won't fault you for the imperfect glass surface, but I like the different proportion face image in the glass vs the stem, the black glove and the transparent ring on the finger.

Nice DOF and star filter effect. I'm missing Christmas already.

...and shame on me! Nicely composed and very fitting frame. What is under her right thumb?
