nice base image. i think i would have tried to make it pop a little more with a curve adjustment, but that's just me.

The fish in the front cut off and little blue. The fish in the back is sharp. The water can be very dirty in aquarium, considering that you captured good clarity shot.

I wish the largest's nose were included. I follow the line of the fish... over to the edge... and then... slap. His nose is missing.

It's not often we see underwater shots, this is nice but I wonder if some curves would have made it better

nice image people might not appreciate how hard it is to dive with a camera if you took this underwater? not much backscatter i like that where did you take it?

neat underwater shot

nice effort at capturing this. but lacks ''wow" factor, 5 , image is a little flat and bland.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

interesting shot - but no so great tone
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:10:30 PM
underwater shots are so hard, good job on the focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:48:23 AM
Unusual... Sorry about the cropped nose on the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 03:30:16 AM
That's a lot of fish! Wonderful and peaceful underwater view.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good capture, the composition is a bit off balance though. The color treatment is nice, but perhaps a bit dark.

very cool capture

Very nice...I like the subtle tones in this, suits the calmness of being underwater...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice underwater shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:52:50 AM
too much going on here. the b/w conversion and toning make it even harder to look at this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:54:22 AM
Cool underwater shot. The water looks so busy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:16:34 AM
must be more than 500 fish there - interesting shades of one color...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:57:23 PM
Would not want to be "snapped" - though he was. Water pictures are tough.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:27:36 PM
Nice job. I've never seen so many fish.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:58:50 PM
Doh, his nose got cut off. :) I love the 'feel' of this photo... very powerful!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:02:22 PM
Those are some big fish!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:39:28 PM
my eyes aren't really sure what to focus on here. it would have been great to catch on of the fish as the main subject. i like the background, it looks like fishy insanity:)

nice shot

Not fond of the color but interesting capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:52:29 AM
Wow! A lot of fish!! Underwater shots are tough.. wish it had a bit more color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:21:31 AM
Wow. So many fish. I would love to see some deeper saturation; I think it would make this image pop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:31:56 AM
what an opportunity to shoot underwater, makes me want to call out "here fishy, fishy"...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:16:05 AM
Very cool. Those little fish are fun to swim with. Might have chosen to keep the original colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:54:05 AM
Where's my rod, I feel like fishing!
