Koi Beauty

This gorgeous Koi was swimming lazily by me in the pond, and this is one of many images that I captured.

The water surface is invisible here, except for the blue ripples, making the fish to appear suspended in the air above!

 

The complete cloud cover of the day made it much easier to come away with nice images, due to the lack of harsh reflections on the water's surface that direct sunlight often produces. I had no polarizing filter here, so the clouds above me were my natural filter.

Anyone who has photographed water scenes knows exactly what I'm talking about :)

 

There were several color variations among the Koi, but I felt this gold one was exquisite and it positively glowed!
