Nice job! The picture is clear and the focus is good too. The lighting is also very good. I think it's perfect the way it is. Nice entry and good luck to you.

Schooling fish are in constant motion, creating new patterns and shapes. Your whirligig reference is quite apt. Interesting colors, shapes and shadings make this a good picture to view. Sharp focus and good background. Well seen.

    Okay. They sure look like fish to me. But it is still an interesting shot.

Comment from nikman


Looks like a fascinating entry into the competition posted here! Never heard of, nor seen this before. Thought it was a shoal of small fish initially! Your nice image is well composed, sharp with good exposure. Well done and good luck!

Wow for sure an outstanding discovery at the perfect moment - your picture shows beautifully the onion and the ritual going on as they form a wonderful pattern and seem to be part of one super natural body
excellent distance, super clear and sharp , perfect contrast and lighting - a well framed and well composed picture with a great initial impression - stunning - thanks for sharing, I never saw such a nice union - I saw mini worlds in the flat oceans but this is exceptional, well done
