Excellent photo! I'm sure some will not see this one as a stopped motion shot, but I've had many fish and tried to photograph them. I know how difficult it is to get the proper lighting much less stop the motion. To have the "fluttering" fins stopped rather than blurred and the mouth open like this is outstanding. Congratulations on this shot and best of luck in the challenge!
Captivating image with an amazing array of colours.
A quick run through "Neat Image" would have tidied up the noise in the background perfectly
Nicely captured.
A mild pass through NeatImage or similar programs would have lessened the graininess unless you wanted the grain effect. Lovely colors ... very electric!
