I have been practicing with aquarium photography, which is quite tricky because of the flash and interference from the glass... as well as the fast and random movements of the subjects! Although I lament that Lipstick is not framed very well in this shot, I do like the detail one can see in her fins and tail.

Doesn't have to be framed any better than this, for a desktop. People can put their icons to the left this way. I think this is very, very pretty, and of course it's glare-free, which, as you note, is some accomplishment! Kudos and high marks.

Excellent capture of a deceptively difficult subject, The light, focus and composition are particularly well done.

My biggest problem with fish photography is the slow speed of my digital camera. By the time I have pressed the button to take the shot, they have moved.

I'm not sure how you would have composed this any better other then have the fish turn his head alittle more inwards so you could see the other eye better. But fish don't follow those kind of directions so you have done well. I i had a fish tank this would probably inspire me to go and try to get something like this, but i don't.

I love the name hehehe Lipstick. I dont think you do yourself enough credit with this shot. Although he is not framed the colours are beautiful and bold and i think that the composition if very very nice. Makes a beautiful desktop. Very well done 10/10 and all my admiration :)

After trying to take pictures of my goldfish I know how hard it is, this is very good.
Thought you might like to see how it looks when you put your icons to the right, and it fits quite nicely.
