Very nicely shot. It's like the gold fish is alone in a dark sea of emptiness. I am impressed with your knowledge of the photo programs.

    Thank you very much. I guess other people get into stereos or cars and other hobbies, for me all of my free time is spent with photography which lead me to photoshop and some other programs. I also build computers for friends on occasion and trouble shoot and fix them. I didn't realize until now that maybe I have more hobbies than I thought, as I'm also into web design and manage a few volunteer web sites. :)
    Thanks again.

Whatever all you technical detail meant I am truly impressed with the results. This is a very clear sharp photo and I would never has guessed he was in a 10 gallon tank!

very cool picture. you have done a lot of work setting it up. it is a nice pic but would have been even better with a real clown fish. good job otherwise.

    Thanks on that, you're not the first to suggest a real Clown fish, though the one's I've seen at the store are very small and require a salt water tank setup. :)
    Thanks again.

Comment from holly


Well I don't know what to say you have explained the way you did , but I just love the end result, the fish is just perfect, I am glad you have trained it well, without it this wonderful image might never existed.
Fab, love the play on words as well.

    Thanks Mike, A real compliment, though I'm a self taught amateur who enjoys photoshop and digital photography as an extreme hobby. You made me smile. Thanks.

Comment from floridaboy


Technically perfect. However the focal point is a black hole. This leaves the eye searching for something interesting. While bouncing back and forth between the mask and the fish, I began to wonder why anyone would go to the trouble of creating this picture. Yes, there is the clever play on words with the title, but it lacks inspiration.

    Thank you for your rating, critique and feelings about this image. I'm sorry you were were unable to find what you were looking for Floridaboy, and I'm surprised and at the same time humbled at the overwhelming positive response I've received whit this and my other two images so far. I find it interesting that there seems to be a very decisive split on the bubble "issue". Folks either love them or hate them. others either get or miss the play on words in the title, and some even go to suggest that an actual clown fish would be better. As with your feed back and all the others, I enjoy reading what folks think and am encouraged by the variety of responses as from a variety of people with many differing talents and levels of experience. This truly is a treat.
    Thanks again.

Comment from Digito Pulgar


El pez esta muy bien definido..la idea general es muy buena y el concepto es genial.
Quizas un poco bizarro en su salida general pero es buena la idea.
Buenos colores buen brillo y el foco bien logrado.
El fondo oscuro es ideal para resaltar la imagen se puede decir que se logra una buena llegada visual y eso no es poco.
Para una idea con ppocos elementos se logra el objetivo.
Muy buen SYS !

    The fish this definido..la general concept is very good very well and the concept is brilliant. A little gallant Quizas in its general exit but is good the idea. Good colors good brightness and the obtained affluent center. The dark bottom is ideal to emphasize the image can be said that a good visual arrival is obtained and that is not little. For an idea with ppocos elements the objective is obtained. Very good Sys!

Comment from aeasyartist


Very well done indeed I really don't know what to fault in this pic.I like the way the goldfish looks as if he is about to pop out of the pic.Your balance and composition are very good. I guess the only bad thing I can say is< "Why don't my pics look this good"? Good job!

    Thanks for that. You have to remember that this is a composition of two photos and some photoshop cleaning up. My original photos wouldn't have looked very good at all on their own. The clown mask one had bad lighting and a lot of clutter. The Fish picture has parts of other fish and an electrical wall socket showing through the back of the tank. I grabbed the parts I though I could use and discarded the rest. Photoshop and other editing programs give you a lot to experiment with, and every image starts out for me as a trial and error exercise. Thanks again for your comments.

I wrote a review on this several days ago but my computer froze and it did not post. I read your notes and I had ask you a question about light, but I don't remember it. ( ok, I am old ) This is picture is perfect.
