 I was trying to capture a photo of a fish, and I found out that they generally swim to fast, for my camera to actually get a clear shot. This little fish however, was hiding behind rocks, and not moving too much, so I took my chance. This was taken in a public aquarium so I think he might have been a little scared. He came out a few times, but always went back inside.

The lighting is not the best on the photo. i could not use my flash, as my flash is extremely bright, and would have blinded the fish, plus I did not want glare. Plus if I had used a flash, each time I put my lens on the glass, the fish would get scared away. therefore all the lighting is from the actual aquarium.

The submission is a bit small and the focus is a tiny bit off, but I like the 'hiding' he's doing. It's a good shot. keep plugging.

I feel this could do with being expanded a little bit.

Interesting natural framing around your main subject. My eyes are being led into the middle and not off of the image, well done,
