 Hmmm. Another fish picture! It seems I like the fish lately. I don't expect a big score with this (mainly due to the out of focus head), but once again I really like it. Flash bounced off of a piece of white foamcore to the right. Oh, and this is my fishtank at home.

One of my favorites - really lovely, and must have been so hard to get, with the fish in just the right posture. Love the turning away.

I fully agree with the comments below - and look at the commenters average. A solid 8. Probably what I would have given it too, had I voted. ;) Without question this deserved a much better score. Terrific image!
