Welcome to DPS Paolo.
Nice set to start with.
I really like the Koi photo... you caught them at just the right moment (were they waiting to be fed?)... Fantastic job!

Very nice, Paolo! Welcome to DPS! These pics are a fine addition to the amazing collection of photographs you'll find from so many talented DPS members!!

Excellent composition on all counts. I love the b/w treatment of the first. The fish are too funny!!! That's a great shot, and the last has excellent DOF. If this is typical of your work, you're going to be very popular here!!

Thanks for sharing!

Love that second one -- all those open mouths waiting for food are so wonderful. The composition and the wetness of the water are great too.
