Hi David,
Nice view of this fish in the sky, interesting artwork. I like the very saturated colors here, and the direction of the fish is really like under water life. Kind of surreal qith the poles and the blue sky. And yes, yournote is right: the world is going mad and we're all going to be fried.
Meanwhile, enjoy.
Saludos,
Daniel

Hello David. I find this a really original and interesting shot. It's a shame you have so much spare blue sky at the top left, maybe you could have used your space better had you angled the camera somewhat. Nevertheless, a very good photo. Well done.

Surprenante composition j'aime beaucoup, bravo. Le fait que les poissons soit orientés différemment est très intéressant.

Long time since I've been to Southport, David. My grandparents retired there in the 1970's to look after the Salvation Army citadel on Shakespeare Street. This is a lovely shot. Nice angles, very sharp and stunning colours. I could see it in a magazine. Best wishes, Paul.

Hello David,
Very interesting object/artwork with excellent, a bit graphical composition, and the whole picture seems so colourful! Really nice work, good seen and captured.
I would to thank you about your Photographer's Note. I share your oppinion. I think we - the people are guilty about the climate changes because of our human activity. While in UK there is floods and rain, in Bulgaria and Greece is terrible drought and hottest tempreture from 100 year ago. Nature is going mad...
Thanks for the beautiful picture and take care!

Hi David,
Interesting view of the artwork with some fish reflecting the blue color while a few are seen as silhouettes. Your composition is well-designed with the artwork filling the frame. Really nice blue there. Hope the floods are over soon. Regards,

Hi David,

Excellent shot of extict fish swimming around in heaven. You have made very good use of the lighting conditions and I I really like the black ones swimming in the other direction. With such bad weather in the UK it must have been pretty difficult to take a photo with a perfect blue sky. Have a nice week end!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi David!

Such an interesting pov you have chosen to present to us this sculpture! The pov looking to the sky, the intense light, and the sculpture itself, make a great composition, and makes feel like seeing more!

Cheers have a great day!

Hi David,
ongoing wet weather with actual floodings in Switzerland and Germany. Your collection of fishes is nice and has a good, strong contrast against that sky. I needed to travel to Hungary to get such a sky and you got that in England. The low POV makes the impression very strong.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello David,
Yes I like your note and I can't tell anything else than I am affraid you are right, but I just keep on asking me the same question : What can we do ? Apart from doing what we can, the result of this will not be sufficient...
Nice picture anyway, very symbolic.
If you have an answer or a solution (or part of it), please share it ;-)
Have a nice evening,
Best regards, Christian

Hello David, good POV, the fish look great against the vivid blue sky.
I like the different angles of the fish, are they blown about by the wind?
It is good to see these works of art where everyone can enjoy them.
TFS, regards Jean.

Hi David,

Quite and artistic image you've given us here. The converged verticals really add to the feel. Positioning the brightest fish at the third is perfect. I also think that the two darkest fish on the right really balance the image keeping it from falling away to dramatically to the left. Good note too.

Cheers!

Strong taste that deep blue, but fascinating in some way. Original composition with the fishes. The only thing that really disturbes me is th black frame: I would limit it to a white line, see my ws for a suggestion.

David, I saw this photo when you posted it but didn't quite know how to critique it! Seeing it again after you commented on one of my pictures I felt I had better say a few words, because I was struck by it at the time and stared for ages!! Unfortunately I don't quite have the critiquing "know-how" to "assess" such a picture, other than to say it is quite magical :-) In some ways it seems you have captured the way a shoal of fish would glisten as they move within shallow water. The two dark fish, moving away from the shoal - for whatever reason - are perfectly placed, be it by design or viewpoint.

And your note - well you couldn't really sum the current sorry state up any better... but there is always optimism, and thankfully around the world people are slowly starting to act :)

Great picture David, and thank you very much for sharing.

I like your view in this one, I mean what you were thinking. Very clever shot
Simple and clever

I don't know how you managed to capture that deep and velvet blue sky, the polarizer filter helped you a lot I guess

Well done David
