Hi,
that is a nice specimen and a good photo.
I would check out levels to improve it a little more with post processing.
Also i would probably remove the reflection (mirror effect) in the back pane.

Very nice! I agree with Andreas' advice, but the little bit work that he recommends will convert a very good image into an excellent one.

That's a great shot especially came from a P&S camera. The exposure is pretty good. Mind sharing the photography parameters?

Thanks everyone!
I think that I had it set on F3.2 and 1/120
I know the ISO was 200. I'll try to play around with it a little more to see if I can clean it up.

Very good pose. Wish I saw more bettas around here litke yours. Here is a stab at adjusting your photo - still learning photoshop and testing the skills every chance I get.

Yup, this shot definitely has potential. Even a simple black point adjustment does wonders for this pic.

Thanks for cleaning that up! I see what a difference that can make. After seeing it on a different monitor the difference is very obvious.
I'll try to get some more shots and see what happens:)
