I went to the lake few days ago... It was cold and a bit windy... I arrived at this place... and I saw a river with colorful fish swimming in a warm moonlit night...

I really like what you have done here. Its a magical image. I would have liked to see the fish slightly less in the center - but never mind that - well done
Thanks for your comment Toad... Smile

You are right it is a bit too centered... The thing here was that this picture was the one with best detail.... but I didn't have room for a good crop... yes I also find it magical.... Smile
Wow, magical photo - what wonderful colours! Was that coloured bit added via Photoshop? (I dunno what to think - it's so perfectly done)

I love the surface of the water as well - it almost looks like fabric.
Thanks ST Smile

The original picture has nice colors... I just increased the contrast a bit in PS Wink

well done Irma, the surface of the water does look great........... how long was the exposure?
I also like the colour. Looks like stained glass on water. The water looks like its moving fast too.
What a fantastic photo! I love the colours of the fish and the look of the water, very ethereal and other worldly Smile
Thank you all very much for your comments... I am really very happy you like my picture, because it was one of those picture one takes with the idea of doing something and make it look as you imagine... I really didn't see it was a log in the frozen lake... I saw a fish... and I wanted to do something special....

Here is the original picture...

very interesting image Irma. i like the "finding the magical fish" in the picture. it's images within images which appeals to me.

Lovely Irma, superb visualization skills to pick that up straight away........ awesome PP tooCool
