water is wonderful.
My daughter Sóley and her fishes. Shot at home in the living room. Thanks to superkev for selecting this photo as a DD.  Setup: The fish bowl is placed on a thick glass window which is placed between two loudspeakers. Between the fish bowl and the glass is white paper. Underneath the fish bowl is a halogen lamp. This was shot in the afternoon so it was bright outside as can be seen by the reflections in the fish bowl from a window on the right. I had to lay on the floor to get the low viewpoint and I used a tripod for the camera. Her body is not visible through the fish bowl because of the light coming from below. The water is clean and fresh as can be seen by the air bubbles on the plastic plants. I did some more shots but the expression on her face and the placement of the fishes were not as good. I also tried blocking the light so it would not light up the wall behind and that was better. Post processing in PS: . Levels . Unsharp Mask . Crop . Resize .

Makes it glow! I really like this. The girl is adorable and I love the feeling of curiosity. Wonderful Picture!
 Youthful curiousity -- you captured it wonderfully.
-- Just an observer of absurdity. The light on the fish bowl is BEAUTIFUL. Makes it glow! I really like this. The girl is adorable and I love the feeling of curiosity. Wonderful Picture!
 I'm as encapsulated as the girl.
 this is nearly perfect. i'd just like to see the bottom few pixels cropped out so that you can't see the light source flaring.
 -- Have some every day: photography.deviantart.com  kevinthom.com  journal.kevinthom.com Amazing photo! She's makes for a wonderful little model and the lighting is perfect.
My daughter has a fish too and thinks it strange that she can't scoop him out of his bowl and carry him around like she does the dog.  -- Laura  To me it looks like a god/world composition.
And as always the colors and light is good. -- Make yourself all honey And all the flies will devour you  so is your photo!
 -- ...keep passing the open windows... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i have never been comfortable drinking kool-aid at religious functions.  a very strong photo..yet very simple. the picture is clear and percise and it's lighting is perfect..
