[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the first of a series of pictures taken at the Aquarium Vasco da Gama, founded by the king Carlos I in 1898 to celebrate the 400th Aniversary of the Discovery of Sea Way to India by the navigator Vasco da Gama. This is a small but very interesting and instructive Aquarium, with a rich variety of fishes of fresh and sea water, cold and tropical water, worth a visit..
If you cannot come here soon, you have its Web Site - www.aquariovgama.pt - with version in Portuguese and English language and many useful information ...

(Iso - 400)

This fish is the "Zebrasoma flavescens" (common name: yellow tang) (Bibliography: fins.actwin.com/species/index.php?t=9&i=171)

Wonderfull image. It's never easy to photograph fishes in an aquarium. This one is fantastic.
Well done

Good work! This fish is a work of art! And there is also the right frame. Thank you for sharing. Livia

Hello Rui,
this is a very nice and colorful shot. It's quite difficult to portray a fish, they are too impredictible and you have succeeded very well.
The yellow frame give a nice touch to your composition.
Superbe.
Luan

Oh I was about to write this could a fine photo for the hunt - but I can see you already knows :-)

A fine catch (a lemon fish ;-) I like the fine frame and black background as well - thanks Rui - and congratulation.

What a beautiful colourful shot. Love the bright yellow of the fish against the dark coral. You did well not to get a reflection from the glass, it as if this was taken in the water itself.

Hi.
Superb shot with a perfect clearness and colors.
Good framing...great composition.
Well done.

Excelente Rui!
As cores estão maravilhosas... até parece que nem há um vidro a separar-nos desta marabilha. A definiçao também esta muito boa e o peixe parece que está a posar para a fotografia.

Se nao tivesses dito que tinha sido tirada no Aquário Vasco da Gama pensava que tinha sido em alto mar.

Por outro lado fico contente por saber que o Áquario resiste ao passar dos anos, e nem o Oceanario destituiu este patrimonio.

Um abraço
Mario

Bonjour Rui
La photographie semble naturelle comme si vous aviez été sous l'eau.
Une jolie touche de jaune exotique sur un arrière-plan sombre.
Bon travail.

Hello Rui
Photography seems natural as if you had been under water. A pretty touch of exotic yellow on a dark background.
