There is a jungle rain-forest habitat at the zoo, very nice on cold winter days. The light level there is extremely low which makes shooting very difficult of course. The red is from some heat lamps that are warming up a few tortoises out of view on the top-left. I thought the glow would work well with the surface of the water and fish below. Still, very low shutter speed and had to crank the ISO up to 800!!

Nifty what you can do at 800 ISO. Pity about the graininess... although this looks pretty good. (Technically speaking -- artistically it's up to your usual high standards.) The red reflections on the water set off the reddish spot-scales on the fish. (I wonder what koi taste like, they're ornamental carp aren't they...)
