We had a fish once, a similar beta, who would blow these bubble nests (for laying eggs?), cool idea for the challenge. Nice crop and good color on the little swimmer. 7
4 - Great bubble subjects and potential here. Criticism; don't think you have captured the potential of either the betta or the bubbles though. More focus on both, less cropping down the bottom and attention paid to the tank sides - possibly even enhancing 'all the above' with lighting effects, would have made this a better, and more impacting shot, in my opinion.
This is great! - First time I've seen a photo of a fish that almost gives it an expression! He really looks like he's enjoying himself there. Well caught.... erm captured (can't use words like 'caught' in front of a fish, you know)
I would have liked this better if you had cropped off the top where the bubble line ends. Nice job though, very original. One of very few "pet" pics I like.
I can tell you I have to appreciate the persistence it took to just get this shot - animals are tough subjects to work with. I like the action going on in this shot. The beta/siamese fighting fish looks as if it is blowing those bubbles from its mouth. The biggest flaw of this shot is the washed out colors. Betas have rich colors and th blues and reds could be deeper and richer in hue - perhaps placing a black background behind the tank would help with making the colors pop and also if flash was used then maybe you should try a more natural lighting so the colors are not overexposed.
