Hi Joe,
I agree with John that something very wonky has occurred in your processing of this image.
You have a great action pose here so I look forward to your repost!
Gail
Joe, I love the action you've captured in this one and think the repost is a considerable improvement. I can't see the noise Gail refers to. It is quite contrasty though and wonder what the lighting was like at the time? Worth another go, I think.
To me, the weirdness lies in the fact that the middle tones look much too dark ...
with love, artie
ps: great pose, great fish ...
