I love the movement, but its almost to blurred to where it becomes hard to look at. You also have some white specks that could maybe be cloned or touched up on. I love the fish however being that I have fish myself.

Hi Steve thanks for taking the time to comment. I tried a few shots that were less blurred but none seemed to convey the feeling of motion the longer exposure did. I got rid of the white specks which were a little odd, i noticed that if i compare side by side the images on this site and cs2, the sites image seems to be a little lighter. Not a problem but wondered if anyone else has this problem.
Many thanks and take care

I've tried, painfully, to capture my own fish. You've done a great job. I like the lighting and contrast.
Good luck,

Hi Chad
I know the feeling ive taken many pics of them but never really managed to get away from that fish in a pond look. This time i actually like the images.
Thankyou and take care

These fish will become as famous in the WA as Strad's Strad. Although I was surprised to see them considering some of your other ideas!!!
Great shot, see you in the factory.

Hi Adam
I promise not to use the fish too often and my other ideas well enough said.
Hope you prefer this version

Nice take on the WA. Our Zoo has a lake full of these Koi that are the size of a small dog. Good Luck.

Thanks Karen,
I have kept some of these koi for 15 years now and they are in there 5th pond. Dont quite have a lake yet, but i can dream. The Largest of mine a black koi is about 30 inches long called Shadow. (yes they all have names!!!)
Take care and thank you for looking

Hi Mark! You and Beverly (Guhl) should compare notes. She also has a wonderful Koi pond and all of hers have names, too. Just for fun, check out her Gallery of Koi, http://beverlyguhl.com/photog/GALLERY/koidreamsF.html
I really like the combination of light and dark fish, and you've captured their motion beautifully. I especially like the hazy quality of the image. It's almost dreamlike, as though you photographed 'imagination.' Lovely work!
I think this is a great shot, so much improved now, with the just the two fish. Appears much more balanced. I agree with Steven Roberts that the bottom fish is a little too blurred for me but still a great shot.

Hi Philly
Many thanks for you kind words and that gallery is superb. I do admit that in the summer there is nothing quite like sitting by a pond of koi and drinking a glass of wine. That can create a hazy image too !

See ya in the factory in the New Year.

Thanks Alison im much happier with the new image. Im not sure about the bottom fish as i like the fact it is blurred and it creates that feeling of motion i was after.
Take care
