Very nice colors, and I like how you have framed this. It is very balanced and appealing, visually.
07/14/2002 11:26:00 PM
excellent photo, but don't get connection to fear.
07/14/2002 08:04:00 PM
Graet color and composition!
07/14/2002 12:04:00 AM

This is a really cool picture (is it upside down?). Very pretty fish, and nice turqoise water.
07/13/2002 03:53:00 PM
Trying to save the photo with a title. I just hate when people do that. It's a beautiful shot but it doesn't instill much fear in me.

Good color. Nice detail. Missing the fear for me.
07/13/2002 05:46:00 AM
Great colours. Nice picture
07/13/2002 12:47:00 AM
nice shot
07/12/2002 04:36:00 PM
Nice clear picture of what i guess isnt an easy subject.
07/12/2002 11:01:00 AM
Great colors.
Too bad you dont have a shot of this fish on the hunt.
07/11/2002 08:44:00 PM
Excellent shot. I hope you don't suffer too much from lack of understanding of the subject (I know my photo is).
07/11/2002 10:22:00 AM
wow, looks a lot like a lion fish. where are these endemic to? good color on this shot. i like the macro. i hope i dont step on one of these next scuba dive!
07/11/2002 10:19:00 AM
So colorful and you've captured it perfectly.
07/11/2002 09:33:00 AM
Beautiful photo! I wish I could see the tips of all or most of his spines. This is great but doesn't really portray fear very well to me. 7 Lisa

It's a beauty, but doesn't depict fear unless one reads the title. The picture should tell the story.
07/10/2002 04:01:00 PM
beautiful picture but i dont see fear
07/10/2002 01:54:00 PM
subject 7 focus 8 lighting 8 composition 6 total 7

REALLY excellent photography!!! Superb! I don't get 'fear' from this image, but that's me and is not taking away from such great work!! It's a 10 to me.

beautiful shot!

meeting challange = 4 (would help to know on my own that this was a venomous fish - but I didn't) photo quality = 5 beautiful shot. I love the colors and perspective here. total = 9
07/10/2002 07:28:00 AM
nice and colourful good subject
07/09/2002 10:35:00 PM
Beautiful!!
07/09/2002 10:07:00 PM

Good idea, and a nice capture. I think I might have framed it a little looser to include more of the fish and it's suroundings. I would like to see a little more of the coral (?) the fish is up against.
07/09/2002 01:54:00 PM
beautiful
07/09/2002 12:55:00 PM
Yeah, but they're only really dangerous at dusk ;)
These are very, very tricky to photograph and this is pretty good. I was about to put that the eye wasn't sharp but of course that's the false eye spot and the eye is nice and sharp (but well camouflaged).
I'm afraid it just doesn't say "fear" to me - now if it was a Titan triggerfish...
07/09/2002 11:00:00 AM
Fish are more beautiful than scary...
07/09/2002 09:13:00 AM
it's very, very scary.
07/09/2002 04:12:00 AM
beautiful but not fearful
07/09/2002 12:03:00 AM
Was the fish vertical like that, or was it the angle? I think this might be better with either a close up of the fish's face or a shot that has the whole fish in it. Nice colors and focus though!
07/08/2002 11:34:00 PM
Great underwater shot...I'm assuming it's underwater and not just behind glass...either way...nice job. Beautiful colors.
07/08/2002 08:02:00 PM
Beautiful, but scary. Nice shot, in the wild? My first 10 for this week. Swash
07/08/2002 07:09:00 PM
very prett colors
07/08/2002 05:59:00 PM
I think it's upside down
07/08/2002 05:09:00 PM
I'm sure it would hurt like hell to get stung, but this doesn't really scare me.
07/08/2002 03:00:00 PM
great shot...I like the colors...
07/08/2002 02:20:00 PM
Great PICTURE OF A LION FISH. iS HE AFRAID OF US OR ARE WE AFRAID OF HIM
07/08/2002 11:33:00 AM
cool! : )
07/08/2002 08:49:00 AM
If I hadn't looked at your title, I would have said very colorful, cheery, well-taken photo. But it is not for this challenge. Having to explain that the pipes are poisonous doesn't work.
07/08/2002 08:49:00 AM
This is a cool shot of this fish. I love the lines and colors. I just wish, for this challenge, the fear would be more apparent and I wouldn't have to be smacked over the head with a large title.
07/08/2002 06:26:00 AM
good shot, would have been nice to get the whole of him.
