Purely angle. A polarizing filter would do it too but flamin lib Sep 2020 #5
Could you use polarizing sun glasses in a pinch? If you could not get the angle right? mitch96 Sep 2020 #16

This photo goes beyond sharpness into another dimension altogether.

So gorgeous! Love the motion, the colors, everything...

of the Koi. Just enough definition to identify. I like shooting this kind of stuff. Like the smoke you just have to make exposures one after the other and see what you have later.

I think that's why I enjoy wildlife. If I can control it I try to sometimes to the point of obsession. Shooting stuff that's just dumb luck is like a relief.

I have to admit that it took a second or two for me to recognize the fish. Great work, flamin lib!

This is my favorite so far. I am wild about all the colors and the abstract look.

Gorgeous......just gorgeous.

I appreciate your talent and thank you for sharing it!
