Ahhh... when I first looked I wasn't seeing fish at all. Took a second, but I got it.
To respond to your comment, there's no big trick to night shots really. For that shot I was mounted on a sturdy tripod and used a wireless remote and mirror lockup to keep any camera movement to the absolute minimum. The exposure itself was (I'm going from memory, but I think) 4 seconds at f/11 and ISO 100. Using mirror lockup was probably overkill, and the wireless remote could be omitted or replaced by a cable release or using the self timer. The tripod, however, is pretty much required.
And if you're in a semi-sketchy neighborhood like I was, it also helps to have your dog along to watch your back. ;)
I've been retired since November, 2008. I've been spending lots of time taking photos, singing, and writing. Currently working on a historical fiction novel.. I highly recommend retirement!

You see? Rubys ARE everywhere!! Especially in the toy box! Very creative!
Those links are a lot cuter than the plain ones my kids had when they were small. Nice choice for RT.
What a great shot! Happy New Year & Ruby Tuesday!
Very nice. Love all those primary colors - especially the red! Thanks for sharing and greetings from California. Linnea
Excellent RT shot! Love the detail as well as the splash of primary colors.
Nice one! Such creatively made toys.
I love the bright colors. Toys are fun no matter your age.
Those red shoes are so pretty!
