Hi all. This is my first post. Along with bird and wildlife photography, I also regularly photograph Betta fish for a friend that imports them. I hope this captive subject is allowed, didn't see any rules against it but please let me know if it isn't.
I use a Nikon D810, Nikon 105 af macro lens and 3 strobes set at 1/8the power in manual. The fish are in a small photo tank with a pane of glass to seperate them from one another. Camera settings for these fish is ISO 400 and anywhere between f18 and f32, depending on the fish's color.
I am wondering if there is an image size that will show the whole image at a glance without having to scroll it?

Beautiful image, the colors of the fish set against the black background is stunning!

I don't think there are any rules about shooting images in captivity like zoo shots or shots like yours but I do appreciate it when folks are clear about stuff like that like you were.

This image fits fine on my monitor but FWIW about 800 pixels tall for portrait or square shots and about 1200 pixels wide for landscape orientation shots seems to work pretty well.

Viewing every one else's photos like this one makes me want to learn more and become a "betta" photographer.
