Strange Brew

[Lance Peters]

Here is one from a while ago - got quite a few nice images this day, lying in the river only a matter of feet from this guy catching his lunch - tiny tiny little translucent fish.

Well don't know what he has here - this must be a new species for my river - "the freswater spiral fish"

It looks like he is 'spinning water' How cool

[Alfred Forns]

The entire image is way cool Love the feel !!!! ... if that is a fish he sure is trying to motor fast out of the way !!!!!

Great image! I think the "thing" in the beak may be just water
dripping from the upper mandible. You've got it at 1/1000:)

Cheers, Ilija
