Betta in a bottle 4

Description

Photography project for class last semester, about "spaces". Worked with my sister's Betta (Betta splendens), since mine hadn't the matching colors (blue and red) for the whole thing.
I put it in an empty vine bottle, added another nicely looking jar with blue colored water in the background and let the fish do the magics.
The best shot of him by far! Unfortunately it was only once that he positioned himself this perfectly in the blue.

Btw. we haven't been allowed to work with filters or other programs to manipulate the picture, so the entire image is made by setup. Still I'm a shitty photographer...

THE FISH HASN'T BEEN HURT OR ANYTHING DURING THE SHOOTING!
In the wild those fish live in tiny puddles and it had enough air to breathe at the surface. It was probably more satisfied with the bottle than it is in my sister's huge aquarium.
