I know it's not sharp, meaning really low score with the dpc crowd but I reeeaaaally like it because I think it looks like a chinese water painting.

Anyway, this is my roommates beta fish in its bowl under her lamp. It's kind of a lucky snapshot as I was testing my new macro lens.

We get the barest glimpse of the details before he slips back into darkness - very tantalizing. Nicely meditative and underrated.

Congratulations for entering this excellent photo knowing it would not score well. Your focus was perfect for this. This may be a "lucky" capture (as you remark), but it is hardly a "snapshot".

it doesn't quite grab me as an abstract, I'm afraid. Perhaps if the fish(?) was a little lighter?

Need better lighting to get the details & colors from the fish. the dark background also blends too much with the fish

Ilike the idea Ilike the depth of field but a better focus and lighting on the fishes head would have got a 10 even so 8

Lost too much detail within the shadows on the fish... good concept, maybe brighten the shot next time?
