Photo - Can Anybody Help?

[sam_everist]

Hi All,

I had this photo I just happened to catch the other day, I really love the photo however it does need some tidying up with reflections etc, just wondered if anybody with some photoshop skills could help? would be awesome if it could just be the fish on a plain black background?

Cheers in advance

With my limited PS knowledge sorry I can't help...

But I can suggest on how you can take a better picture again for this fella.

Off all the lights in the room and brighten up the tank. If the fish love to come to the front greeting you, place a light source above the tank right infront of the tank. Secondly wear black clothing without any outstanding pictures on it.

It can be done as it's not that hard, but the problem is your picture is very washed out, and there are too many reflections which completely ruins the look of the fish in the first place. Even more annoying is the reflection of letters that are across your fish as well.

Take the picture at night, with all the lights off around you except the tank light, and try to get a better shot of the fish down lower in the tank to avoid so much light on the fish; and don't use the flash either.
