Some new pics (bichir)

[Loubard]

Hey APF,

it's been a while, but I continued taking pics and out of the hundreds that I made I have a few that I find worthy showing here. Suggestions are always welcome.

All the pics are off my Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri.

These shots are "lucky shots", that is when the bichir stay still for long enough the camera can take a good pic. I am hoping at upgrading my camera soon, but the reality is probably going to be using this camera till it is broke. Aaah, well. You learn to handle the camera when you use it over time, because these shots are better then when I first started shooting with this camera.

Cheers Koen

No one?

I like the first pic the best. If you could place the copyright watermark in the corner somewhere, would be
nice, too. Having it run thru the middle of the pic is quite distracting, detracting, IMO.

Thanks. I know the watermark could go somewhere else, but then it is of no use. I will make it softer with the next set of pics.

I like all these shots, but I think the first is probably the best because the green of the plants contrasts nicely with the fish. I think they are cropped rather too tightly at the tail end; I'd like to be able to see the edge of the caudal fin more clearly.

Thanks for your comment Allan. I will reduce the crop with the next set of photo's.

Cheers
