 Didn't check ISO was set high from previous night. Full auto. Shot taken of fish pond in front of botanical museum. This Koi is about 18 inches long. OK, maybe it's a stretch but I was having problems coming up with something fitting.

Even though a nice shot I feel it is a stretch for this challenge.

This shot has some great potential for colors without the color cast.

Nice image here, but an image really should stand on it's own to fit the theme of the challenge, without a title.
They are good cleaners, but make quite a bit of waste themselves - lotsa' poop & Ammonia.

That’s a tough one to do: water is the likely reason image appears washed out and lacking contrast.

A little snap-shot-ish in my opinion. Not sure I get it. 4

needed some PP to make the colors stand out, I think with some selective color and contrast this would have worked better

nature taking care of nature in a natural way - gotta love it

the angle of the shot gives the fish a very distorted view
