    Default PROJECT: GBH and PREY

    Watching this GBH catch and swallow this fish was amazing (and swallow it whole, too)! The included and intruding habitat is what it is but I'm happy to have this project theme so I can share one of my favorite fun images. (I took this last year and looking at it now, it seems I should go back and rework it).

    Whoa, that it a fish and half. Sharp, a good EXP, and you chose the very best perspective. And you caught a nice pose and head angle. You might try lightening the top of the fishes face where it is is sort of in the shade. All in all very well done.

    Katie, nice job capturing this moment. That fish is amazing! It looks like you did the best you could with the habitat elements, and I don't find anything that's really distracting. Exposure looks really good too.

    Cheers,

    Whoah now that is a fish! Incredible capture. I believe you did the best you could in the situation, and the results are very nice. The background is busy as you mentioned but I think a bit of creative cloning/blur would help if you had the time.

    thanks for sharing
