[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Now this is my contribution to the Friday's theme "looking down". I was looking down on a little pond with koi carp from a small footbridge as it crossed my mind that I still had no photo for this theme. :-) I tried my luck as I don't have a polariser. This is the best I could get. I like the colours of those fish and their tameness. You could even touch some of them.
pp: cropped and adjusted contrasts and brightness, added frame.

Hope you enjoy the picture,
regards, Heike

Hello Heike

Well straight away I see from your notes you know that a filter would much improve this shot for you. If you dont have one try taking the shot when all the fish are in a shaded area then you wont get so much sunlight reflection. I think there is a little movement here but the colour is very good and I like the black framing very much.

TFS and for joining in the theme

Kind regards Helen

Hello Heike,
koi is a very interesting and pretty fish. You managed to make it very exciting and very paitlike subject.
Nicely composed and lovely refelction too.

Regards,
Foozi
