Great job getting such a clear and sharp image through the glass! The color of this guy is really stunning and his shape is so interesting. I like the close crop and how his features stand out so well.

Wow! I have never seen a fish in such a deep blue tone! Fascinating to see this! Well focused, clear image with beautiful color! This looks like something from a Disney movie! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Such an unusual big blue fish taken at this National Aquarium lying on the bottom amongst the coral.
Good lighting and clear view through the glass.
Thanks for sharing!

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.

A beautiful fish with dazzling color that is perfect for this contest. The fish is shown in fine detail; unfortunately, so is the background. I would try to alter the straight lines and right angles in the background in some way. Best of luck in the voting.

nice capture of the fish, but even you did not say so the saturation and colors look over done

Comment from Nature Rick


Interesting photo of a Humphead Maori Wrasse, was a black light used to bring out this bright blue color? Natural colors and tones makes this a beautiful interesting photo.

Very nice focus and sharp, good DoF, nicely framed, like the composition, well balanced photo. Overall, a well done wildlife photograph of a Humphead Maori Wrasse.

    Thanks the fish was at bottom of huge aquarium and my camera as close as possible to glass no special lighting it is actually that color.
Comment from Len Shood


A nice shot of this amazing fish. As soon as I saw it I thought 'The colour blue contest' which is a good sign right ? He looks happy and he is indeed extraordinarily blue. Good luck in the contest.

Nice capture through the glass. By the look in its eye, it appears as though the fish was patiently waiting for you to "take the shot". That has to be about the "bluest" blue I've ever seen. Nice camera techniques. You should do well in the contest, Good luck.

Must be a good entry into the competition posted here judging by the amount of blue in it! Can't be a real fish? Looks like a good model one! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
