 I'm sure I'll get hammered for this out of focus fish ...

What I do like about the shot is the similarity of her position and that of the statue, quite symmetric.

In case someone wonders why this silly title, it refers to the challenge description: Fish: They swim in water. We like to eat them. Sometimes they eat us. You know! FISH!

@ VBW: It's not a posed shot.

What I like:
- I like the idea of this shot: life mirroring art.

What I don't like:
- woman's hand isn't actually blocking the sunlight (at least not to both eyes) so it makes me believe that this shot is posed. As a posed shot, I think the positioning of the model could be better. Her purse looks strange sitting in mid air

Overall: great idea but falls a bit flat for me.
