    Lovely shot. Well framed. I might be tempted to take a wee bit off of the top.

    Hi Dale - This looks a bit more like a typical overcast Alaska day. Nice to see most of the salmon. I like the walking pose with the bit of splash too. The pov and sharpness look good. I feel like it needs just a little more room below but not a deal breaker. There's what looks like a sharpening halo along its rump.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    HI Dale -- This is a lovely image ! I too would prefer some more space at the bottom but all in all it is a very good image with nice details and looks very sharp.

    TFS !

    A cool moment here Dale - I like the uniform surroundings too.
    I'd play with adding a hint more tonal/local contrast to add a hint of punch?

    I'll find some with really red sockeyes. Spawn run was past peak so not as many bright red fish as hoped....
