Koi Tales

When I photographed three Koi swimming in a small pond at the Planting Fields Arboretum yesterday I envisioned making this composite of swirling tails. This is four photographs rearranged.

      Thank you Karine. I tried many tails in arranged many ways until I was satisfied.

      Glad you like it. It isn’t a photograph, it is a composite of photographs rearranged by me.

    If I didn’t already know these were fish tails, I might have thought they were kelp moving in a tidal pool. It’s a lovely photo.

      Thanks very much. It is digital art. I wouldn’t call a composite image a photo.
