 Clicking a catch from a fisherman, he got three in a single line, the middle one was most sharp, so cropped a bit and posted. Hope some people like it

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: clever and unusual pov for the shot.

Technical: dof good, composition good but could've been strengthened by cropping out the other fish in upper left.

Artistic: LOVE the different pov you got here on the fish. The green water surrounding it catches the light well and helps illuminate subject.

Overall: A good shot, but can see why it finished just below 50%. Even though you wouldn't have been able to clone out other fish in Basic editing, could've cropped it so fishing line would help form a leading line up to left corner. Better to have just one strong subject in a shot than try to include a second one that may detract.

FWIW: A tiny hit of unsharp mask and sharpen edges, following resizing, may help your subject pop a little more. If you have these editing tools, try them out and see.

Feel free to PM me any questions,

Susan

Yummmm Yellowtail! Cool shot. I actually like that you can only see part of the upper fish.

Tough to understand what perspective I'm looking at. Half crop of the other fish is distracting.
