I took this shot some time ago but I didn't get round to posting it. From what I can remember the lighting was a bit tricky. At the time I was obsessed with low ISO, I wish I had gone for ISO 400 and a little more DOF.
All C&C welcome.

Superb image with lovely colours, great detail and sharpness and the fish is a bonus, only wish for a little more room to the right. TFS.

Stunningly good image. Wish it was mine...

Rich colors, nice pose, IQ and the fish is a big bonus, Jon.

Just a touch tight on the right, but what a stunner. Colors are superb as is the sharpeness, exposure and interest. Love it.

A little tight on the right and the sharpness on the feet just a little off but I just love the colours, the eye contact and lighting! Nice one, well done!
