[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A koi and reflections of watching children taken at the Majorie McNeely Conservatory at the St Paul Zoo, which is a fanciful turn of the century glasshouse complete with tropical plants and ponds. These ponds have koi, and koi attract children who lean over the edge of the pond (with their parents gripping the backs of their coats so they don't fall in) to see the colorful fish.

ISO 400 ambient light. No manipulation of the photo other than cropped to a letter box to give the effect I wanted.

Spelling corrected, the fish are koi, not coy (except when hiding under lily pads...) ;-)

Between you and me - here's what I did.
Turned upside down. The eye keeps wanting to turn it over anyway, so why not.
Crop the RHS to place pink girl on thirds line.
Saturate to +75%
Sharpen x 3
Reframe.
Lie. Distort. Cheat. Bend.
This WS will appear by e-mail.
Out of rewards. I'll get back to you.

Also - checked your WS on me ... Oh! THAT one. Of course. I had forgotten.
