    Re: fishes

    Excellent composition. Great lighting too.

    I might rotate it to see how it looks. Also seems to be getting a tad soft in the upper corner areas - perhaps not a deep enough DOF, or a lens that gets soft in the corners, or using an f stop that causes that there, ?

    Btw - I have always wondered if fishes is a real word - like deer, I thought fish is both singular and plural? Inquiring minds want to know.....

    Re: fishes

    Looks good, Ilike it. One small thing that bothers me; the blacks in the center, they're too black, confirmed by sampling them with the eydropper tool. You will seldom see pure black and certainly not in these circumstances. I know, it might be minor to others, for me it's those little things that do distract me.
