Many thanks Maria for the comments, they are always valued by me.

I tried your suggestion about colour correction in this video, in two places.

The sun was in and out like a fiddler's elbow whilst I was taking the shots, in fact it looks like the footage was compiled from several visits, whereas the whole Carp video was taken within one hour.

In one scene, where the Carp comes close, the bottom of the pond was showing a bright orange/brown colour due to a very bright spell, I took some red out to try and balance this.

The other scene was an approaching carp was just visible due to an overcast sky, so I played with the brightness and contrast to try and lift the Carp from the water.

You see, I do take your comments very seriously, as they help me to further my competence with the SVP editing software.

I shall keep on trying to improve this footage, as I feel that the content deserves no less than my best effort. I just need the spare time to devote to the task.

The shot where the Carp merge and face left, is by far my favourite shot, I think that it arouses the romantic within the viewer, so nice to know that someone has seen the same as me here.

I also like the way in which this video confuses the senses, when viewed side on these fish look so sleek and slender, but when they turn away from, or in to, shot they look extremely fat.

The truth is that they are a fat fish, they are very deep bellied also, it is the water that creates this effect of course. Oh for an underwater camera housing in crystal clear waters like these.

Look at what you've got me doing now! I'm writing a darned article. Sorry about the length of this response, just look at the quality lol.

Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment Maria.
