    Showing off a nice small Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus australis) often called a Silver Bream. A very tasty table fish, and Egret breakfast!

    Not so large Dan, about 50% from horizontal.

    Great action and nice light but I think the crop might be just a little too severe to retain the IQ

    Unfortunately the image quality is not there Colin. Saying that the image looks well exposed and the fish is very cool. I think the vertical comp works well but again there is not much detail in the bird.

    I agree with the boys above. Cool pose and the fish is placed just right, but the IQ has suffered here.

    Thanks for the comments, I have gone back and scrutinized the RAW image and the problem was that I didn't hit critical focus, just a tad soft.
