Thank you to everyone who commented on my picture. Bayoo is an Oscar. He will soon be 2 years old, and he lives by himself in a 75 gallon aquarium with an Eheim canister filter and an Acquaclear HOB. Bayoo loves to eat red Hikari pellets. The biggest ones they make. He also likes worms and fake crab meat. I don't give him anything else.
My challenge photo was lit with aquarium lights (I have a standard fluorescent bar that spans the tank and a brighter fluoro setup that is designed more for planted tanks so the light is brighter). With fish pics, you pretty much have to top light to avoid the room glare on the glass. I did very little by way of post processing, and according to at least one of the comments, more might have improved my score. I will have to work on my digital darkroom skills. CS Elements (2.0) may be the lightweight little brother of the PS family, but it is still pretty complicated for me. Anyway, thanks again to everyone who commented.

Cute! Nice capture, not easy shooting a fish, unless they are in a barrel of course! Just kidding.
An Oscar? Interesting to look at but the lighting leaves much to be desired, very dull and flat and all the debris or algea in the shot could either be cropped out or cloned out. Some adjustments in Levels or Curves to help the colors really pop and you would have a fantastic shot here instead of just a great one! :) A 7 |

| I like that you entered your fish, they are difficult to photograph. It looks like you missed the focus a bit, as I would have prefer to see it more on the snout, but overall nice pic. I like the contrast of the deep blue on white. |

| The best of the fishies. Very appealing. The belnding of the BG to darker at the edges gives a nice sense of dense luminosity. The fish "feels" alittle less sharp than he might be... Strong entry. I hope people agree fish can be pets. |
