Photographer's Note
This is the first of a series of pictures taken at the Aquarium Vasco da Gama, founded by the king Carlos I in 1898 to celebrate the 400th Aniversary of the Discovery of Sea Way to India by the navigator Vasco da Gama. This is a small but very interesting and instructive Aquarium, with a rich variety of fishes of fresh and sea water, cold and tropical water, worth a visit..
If you cannot come here soon, you have its Web Site - www.aquariovgama.pt - with version in Portuguese and English language and many useful information ...
(Iso - 400)
This fish is the "Zebrasoma flavescens" (common name: yellow tang) (Bibliography: fins.actwin.com/species/index.php?t=9&i=171)

Hello Rui,
this is a very nice and colorful shot. It's quite difficult to portray a fish, they are too impredictible and you have succeeded very well.
The yellow frame give a nice touch to your composition.
Superbe.

What a beautiful colourful shot. Love the bright yellow of the fish against the dark coral. You did well not to get a reflection from the glass, it as if this was taken in the water itself.

Excelente Rui!
As cores estão maravilhosas... até parece que nem há um vidro a separar-nos desta marabilha. A definiçao também esta muito boa e o peixe parece que está a posar para a fotografia.
Se nao tivesses dito que tinha sido tirada no Aquário Vasco da Gama pensava que tinha sido em alto mar.
Por outro lado fico contente por saber que o Áquario resiste ao passar dos anos, e nem o Oceanario destituiu este patrimonio.
Um abraço
Mario

Bonjour Rui
La photographie semble naturelle comme si vous aviez été sous l'eau.
Une jolie touche de jaune exotique sur un arrière-plan sombre.
Bon travail.
Hello Rui
Photography seems natural as if you had been under water. A pretty touch of exotic yellow on a dark background.
