Hi Igor.
Interesting specie and interesting shot too.
I like the contrast of the colours with the black ambient and the reflection on the bottom of the tank. On this plane surface it looks like a flying saucer.
I did not know there was this kind of fish on freshwater, I would relate it with sea water if I had not read your note.
Thanks and regards.

Hello Igor,
Wow, what a brilliant capture of this yellow Stingray. Great sharpness and interesting pattern and colour. Good reflection in the water and it looks great against the dark background.

An unusual shot Igor!
Very cool creature with a great reflection.
I can't quite work out the shot though! It's as if the ray is either floating on the surface or is on a sheet of glass!?!
Great shot however.
Well done,
Joey

Hi Igor.
