The Seven Day B&W 📷 Challenge - Day #1 - Holiday Koi

Ho Ho Ho! Santa Koi is here!

This ruby red Koi fish ornament is the lucky charm for our christmas tree this year! It fits rather well to the rest of the red hued baubles and trinkets that are adorning our lushly colored green tree creating an explosion of tastefully saturated and complimentary hues.

Of course you can see none of this because it's all in black and white.

My Zodiac sign is #Pisces so the fish has some extra significance. I don't believe in Astrology but I do enjoy the imagery. For this photo I wanted to have the background seem a bit like a coral reef or underwater setting by using the depth of field to give the fish are more "natural environment". As natural as a tree hanging from a tree can be I suppose.

This is my first entrance into the #sevendaybnwchallenge. Thanks for the nomination by both @mammasitta and @shinyforest so tomorrow's entry will still go to one of you guys!

I'd like to nominate @gexi for the challenge!
