Lucky koi
I have read that swimming koi (goldfish?) must be pictured from above, or else it is not good luck. Okay, I’m hazy on this, but these beautiful specimens appears lucky to me. The many fish in this large indoor pond were large and healthy looking, and so thrilling, the way they move so quickly and gracefully.
For more water photos of all kinds, visit Watery Wednesday. You’ll like it a lot.
I really love this photo and have tagged it a Best Post of the Week. For a fascinating selection of the blogosphere, check out their site.
Koi fish are awesome. There is a lagoon at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo that has quite a “collection” of them, and so it is always fun to feed them and watch them swarm over the food.
Happy WW!
Nice shot of the goldfish. Hope you have tons of good luck today.
Nicely done! A beautiful shot.
Beautiful watery picture!
It’s hard to capture fish on film. That’s a great shot. I like the reflection of the water, too.
I love taking pictures of these fish, great shot 🙂
Beautiful shots of the goldfish. 🙂
Mariposa’s WW!
Nice catch, I like the sense of motion you captured.
I just love the glassy/ripply effect on the surface of the water. Wonderful shot.
What a cool shot! I love the white reflection on the water’s surface and that the water is showing movement.
Ohhh they are gorgeous! Nice photo!!! Very crisp. =0)
I love to look at koi. I didn’t know about the good luck from above shot though. You’ve taken a beautiful photograph.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Great shot. I’m always drawn to the color of koi fish. What an amazing orange!
Koi are pretty fish, they are so colorful! Nicely done!
Beautiful photo. The top fish seems to be floating above the water. Interesting perspective.
I love the movement you captured in this one!
Lovely graphic image and great color.
Thank you to all who visited and took the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated. I am so glad you like it!
and I love the designs made by the rippling water!
They do look like lucky Koi – and pretty ones, too 🙂
You did a fine job photographing them!
