I would like to keep in touch with members of the aminus3 community.

It's so clear!!! Lovely picture Andrew - you'd never say you took it through water!

@Mandy: Thank you, Mandy. It's a shallow pond in a sheltered area of the zoo, so no harsh direct light on it. A little bit of postprocessing needed (as usual) to bring out the best of it here, although I always attempt to remain faithful to the original scene.

DIMITRIOS from Greece

I like very much the contrast it makes Andrew

A wonderful contrast of colours, I really like the fish scales and the rocks on the bottom of the pool, they seem to echo each other.

Nice shot! The fish "pops" against that background and the angle gives it interesting features, too. Well done! =-)
