Great shot, it should be titled "opimism" I agree with the sharpening and also, think it might be improved if you had been able to include the tail of the fish, or cropped more. The the last tag of the fin cut off, it is slightly distracting. Like you did not mean it, instead of a stronger crop.

Wonderful head angle and yes, a really big fish. Do you know what species of fish? The eye looks razor sharp to me. The COMP is lovely but for the fact that you clipped the tail of the fish... A step back would have been a winner. The entire lower lefft corner of the image looks very noisy but I have no clue as to why.

Not sure but the noise could be jpeg anomalies caused by high compression. The image is only 37k in size. You can see this in other parts of the image as well.
