Hi Loot/
I see you still like going fishing.
This is a beautiful shot my friend.
Great colors, details and framing.
Love the color of this sailfin and the way it looks against a very narrow but well define BG.
Congratulations, you are becaming a good fisherman.

Hi loot,
Fantastic fish shot, the yellow on 'Bubbles' turned out very nice where it seems it has only been enhanced a little by the flash. Well done on the cute close up shot. :)

Hi Loot,
All you shots just look like you were swimming with the fish instead of shooting through the glass. Are you telling us the truth?? Be honest, just tell us that you are the famous Aqua-Man or what is his name form the old 70's series.
Just another outstanding photo with such good sharpness colors and presentation. You did it again my friend.
Thank you,
Niek

hello Loot,
Another excellent capture from acquarium. How do you do it? are you magician? . Marvelous yellow tones, the use of flash and details are fine.
Thanks for sharing friend

Hi Loot,
the yellow colours are lovely.
The DOF is great, the fish standout well from the BG.
The details and composition are spot on and you handle the flash well.
Great work, mf.
Hi Loot,
Great capture of this little guy. Nice, sharp, well saturated image. I read an article yesterday re: shooting through glass. Use one of those rubber collapsable lens hoods. Put it right up to the glass. They are flexible so you have a little maneuverability without letting in any light for the glass to reflect. I like the color, shapes and blur of the BG too.

Okay, Loot... What did you say to that yellow tang?
He is definitely looking at you askance.
A fantastic shot... so close-up, with excellent POV.
The details are superb, and the yellow is magnificent.
A real beauty. TFS. : )

Attractive fish and you've done very well for an aquarium shot.
Good sharp details and well exposed.
Hi Loot!
Another great marine shot. Excellent focus, perfect exposure, beaufifull diagonal composition. You should correct your description. It's not a member of the "sergeant fish family" but the "SURGEONFISH family". The scalpel explain the name. Sergeant use a bayonnet instead of a scalpel ;o)
Splendid image Loot, and TFS.

Selon l'explication, il n'est pas facile de capturer un tel spécimen à cause de sa vitesse excessive.
Eh bien, on dirait qu'il s'est immobilisé le temps de la photo. Mais comme d'habitude, tes photos de poissons sont toujours très réussies. Alors, une de plus. La couleur jaune est superbe, impressionnante.
Félicitations.

Hi Loot,
charming yellow fellow with pretty funny facial expression.
The colours in the intense light are wonderful. I very much like the shadow of the transparent fin on the chest.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Excellent shot Loot!
It's not easy to manage the yellow and you did impressively well! Your use of the flash cannot be better! The fish seems to give us a kiss! The bg enhanced very greatly the animal too. Very well done and TFS,

Words fail to describe the sense of wonder/amazement one feels while looking at a picture of this high quality, Loot.
So no streotypes from me today.
All that I can confess candidly here is my total lack of knowledge and interest in marine life till date.
But it is never too late to begin, as they rightly say, and if the starting point is as stmulating as this one, it is a beginning well made.
So thanks for this beautiful image and for the well-presented information about this fish in your note.
Of your three recent fish photos, this one is my favourite. The delicate details are amazing. The fish looks like it is posing for you. And no reflection! At first I thought it was an underwater shot. Then I realized that you did not even get wet taking this picture. Still, Loot, the results are excellent!
Your hard work was really worthwhile. TFS.

Looks like the sun Loot - brilliant! You show it well through the glass, but I bet your wife got a triple-worse shock than you when she saw your reflection!! And I reckon the kiss is for her, NOT you too!
Good all over, lighting, details and colours.
Thank you my friend,
Janice

Hi Loot,
Woow, what a beautiful fish. The shot itself is fantastic, I can see how much effort has gone into this. Perfect exposure, bright and vivid colours with no OE anywhere. Beautiful clear detail. Flash control is excellent, no sign of fish-shaped shadows on the rock behind the fish. Beautiful colours. And this is the amazing bit to me, no hint of glass, not even a slight discolouration or loss of detail. Fantastic shot Loot, more than worthy of the praise it has received.
Have a great, errr, do we have a word for the end of the week? I don't know but I hope you enjoy it anyway :-)
Cheers,
Adrian

Hello Loot
Amazing photo. This little surgeon stands out beautifully against the background. The focus is so sharp that I can almost count the scales on its body if only it wasn't so small. It is a fantastic composition with the fish basically lying on the diagonal with its tail tucked into the bottom corner and still enough space in front of its face to swim in to. I also think the colour definition is so beautiful. I really like it.
Greetings

Hello Loot
Hierdie groot oog met sy pruil bekkie is te kostelik vir woorde. Dit is verstommend hoe jy die deurskynende vin met die skaduwee vasgevang het en die skerp fokus op die vis met die pragtige agtergrond. Rehanna

Hallo Loot
Now this is surely a fish that can be associated with many things: Summer, sunshine, happiness, joy and many more. The bright yellow of this fish’s scales as well as the eye is stunning and very catching. The fins are shaped beautifully and are shown with great detail. You have captured this vibrant coloured Yellow sailfin tang in a great swimming pose, with not one hint that it was photographed through glass. The beautiful wide awake eye and the tiny pouted beak are really eye-catching, and the overall colours of the whole image stunning. Thanks for sharing. Love.
Anna
