Description
Per FAA description: "A serene waterfall cascades gently into a clear pond where a group of vibrant koi fish swim leisurely among the rocks. Lush green foliage frames the water feature, creating a peaceful, natural setting."
In reality, this is not a natural setting but the spectacular garden at the hotel I stayed in Guangzhou, China (came back 2 days ago). To capture the waterfall silky look, I set the speed at 1/6 second, that means the koi movement blurred too. In order to see the shape of the fish I took a second shot at 1/60 sec and then combined the two shots, which shows the movement + shape of the koi nicely. If this does not meet the requirement for "natural," I won't complain if it's not featured. Personally, I think it is very attractive. Every element in this photo is from photos, and colors just adjusted for hue and glare.

This is quite lovely, Alinna, and masterfully edited. I love the colors of the koi and their slight motion blur.

Nice work! The depth, and contrast between the waterfall and the fish in the water, are great!
