Blue Ghost Angelfish taken 15 Jan 14 with K5 Pentax and Pentax 18-55 kit lens through 1/2 inch of the 75 gallon aquarium's glass. Lit by a twin bulb fixture housing two T5 High output bulbs (one 10000k, and one 420 blue actinic; both aquarium/reptile lighting).



Any constructive critique is always welcome,

Beautiful angelfish. Did you used a polarizer? I see no reflections.

Thank you lksobarg.

hcarvalhoalves, Thank you too, and no poloarizer was used. The lighting is from the aquarium light which shines from the top directed toward the bottom of the tank (so the light reflection is on the fish body which is why the top of the scales are brighter).
