Thank you very much, another Koi friend :-)
This Koi is basically a scale-less gal and soooo smooth.

[quote=JBHale] Hello from the Critique Club!!
First of all, great composition! You put the fish in the right place in the frame and used other elements to draw attention back to it! I think the texture in this picture is great, some people may have found it hard to associate this with "Silky-Smooth," but I think it works.
Thanks very much I do appreciate your critique.
Just wanted to tell that this Koi is really silky smooth. And yes I do pet her :-))

Hello from the Critique Club!!

One of your biggest problems is the depth of field. It is very shallow, making too much of the picture blurry. I think a more shallow depth of field is appropriate for this picture, but this is far too much. While the colors in the picture are evident, they aren't flattering. There are a lot of dull browns and greens that, although they are in great contrast with the fish, aren't appealing to the eye of the viewer. The lighting of this picture also looks very unnatural.
The composition of the shot is terrific, but if you had spent more time on lighting, aperture, etc. it would be much nicer. Unfortunately, you said this was a last-minute shot. For the next one, try to spend more time getting the technicals down if you can.

| Great pic, the fish seems to have a wonderful expression on his face. The title is really going to lose you marks though, I think. |

| I've never seen a fish look angry :-) Nice composition and color contrasts. The lillies look a bit oversharpened to my eye. |

| Too bad it's not as cute, lol! It does look super smooth, nice colors. And I like the imprint on the water from the leaf. |
