| Cossie, know that you know how to crop, you must learn to rotate the pic that the head points downward. |

| A few tips:
It will help when taking photos of Koi to ad a few drops of MS222 or Clover-oil into the die bowl water. This will relax the fish, and it will cause the fish to spread its pectoral fins for a better photo.
The back of the Koi should just be covered with water
Bubbles and dirt should be removed from the water.
Change the water if the gills should bleed.
If possible never use the flash or take a photo in direct sunlight, although a polarizing filter ( ND Filter) could help.
Always use the “smallest” F-stop setting for the camera lens
