Jack McRitchie 150 Posted December 3, 2007 Perfect. Absolutely precise placement of elements again betraying your background in painting. Your latest work is among your best, I think. Link to comment
alberta_pizzolato 21 Posted December 3, 2007 I've run out of wonderful ways to say things about your work, Jeff. Brilliant, fantastic, bravo just don't do it. How about "keep it up" because I love visiting your holding tank? Cheers Link to comment
adan1 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Perhaps it is the fish who thinks that Jonah is the "fish" in the bowl. Beautiful rendition with the fish acting as a host taking us into this enchanting world beneath the surface. The blue and green tones impart a sense of serenity that seems inviting. If this fish could talk I would love to hear its thoughts. The expression is engaging. Link to comment

davidorea 1 Posted December 3, 2007 Excellent composition, Jeff. A delight of scene, colors, light and atmosphere. Very good shot! Best regards! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Great use of deep colors to offset the silvery quality of the fish. A very expressive fish photo. There's something quite magical about this. You are able to put yourself into images such as this to the extent that they take on a real personality. That's a very admirable quality. Your creativity is apparent in the composition, presentation, and the very idea. Link to comment
adelah 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Sweet image:) such fine composition, vivid colours, a glimp into a special world! Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Jack: Thanks. Photography is still my methadone to painting, so I'm glad this called up images of brushes, canvases, and tubes of color. Michael: I've learned from watching your work that photographic miracles sometimes need a little coaxing. I'm glad you like it. Alberta: So many adjectives to describe your compliment. Sweet, generous, and appreciated. Adan: This was taken at the aquarium in Monterey. I love the dopey look on the fish, bored to tears watching tourists with their hands pressed against the glass. Joseph P: Thanks for your nice words. Doug: I'm glad you like it. As you know, low light photos aren't always successful. I still have to try the HDR approach you recommended. Marta: Thanks for using the word "original," which is hard to accomplish with a fish. A.K.: I'm always grateful when you stop by. Cherlyn: The fish was certainly in his own world. I'm always surprised that these fish don't watch back. I suspect the world outside the tank doesn't hold much promise. Paula: Thanks so much! Mehmet: Grateful, I appreciate your comment. Tero: Speechless? Hardly. You always have a nice thing to say. Laurent: I'm glad this entertains. Time is a precious commodity, and I appreciate you stopping by when you can. I try to do the same. Catalin: Hi! Thanks for your comment. Kaushik: I'm glad you liked this one. David: He isn't a pigeon, but he definitely has a criminal air about him. Umair: Haven't seen you around in awhile. Good to have you back. Fred: Thanks for your thoughts. I hope this has a little spark to it. I don't have the time lately to labor over photos as I'd like, so I was afraid this had a rushed feel to it. Adela: Thanks for your sweet compliment. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted December 4, 2007 I've photographed in the Monterey Aquarium before, and it's no easy task. As stated before your composition is quite special, and I think the deep green and blue hues make it a visually attractive piece. As for that dopey looking fish, I think he knows more than he's letting on. Link to comment
rogerleekam 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Excellent capture. Very unconventional for a nature shot, which adds greatly to the interest and charm. Link to comment
