Good down the throat view elevates this one Ken. The pearly white teeth are a real standout.

[Ignacio Yufera]

Nice low angle and expression, I like the light inside the mouth.
From what I see in my monitor, might benefit from an extra round of sharpening.

[Austin Thomas]

A great view down the throat Ken. Looks like it has swallowed a torch !

I too would try and sharpen some more but I suspect with drifting in the boat it will not be the sharpest image you have ever taken.

Cheers

Great color and nice low angle. Really like the open mouth as well!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice low angle and horizontal elements to this one. I like how you got a head on view (especially the teeth) and still got tail and body.

The light in the throat was caused by the settiing sun, it looked pretty sharp at home but I cannot really judge it well here in the UK:(

[Rachel Hollander]

Ken - I really like the low perspective and the warm sunlight down the throat. Gives the feel of what the prey must see.

TFS,

Nice one Ken! Being in the boat allowed you get a nice low perspective here which makes it work quite nicely.

This is super image Ken , light in throat makes this grand
