I reviewed some old images this weekend and thought I'd submit this one from last March at Blind Pass in Florida. A nearby fisherman passed the fish to this guy who grabbed and played with it but didn't seem interested in consuming it. This was processed several months ago and I think I added some canvas to the top.
20D, 100-400 IS, 360mm, 1/1000s, f/5.6, EC +1 1/3, ISO 400
I Like the light, striding pose and fish. Perfect sharpness on the head and eye. The BG works well as there are no broken waves cutting across the image. A little more room below and to the left would be nice.
Very sharp and great angle to the bird. The fish looks a bit shiny and stiff... EXP and pose perfect. And yes to a bit more room in front.
