Ooooooooooo, Poor fishy! I will say though that the expression is priceless, rainbow trout isn't it?
I like the concept you went for and the colors are wonderful, the clarity of the shot is also wonderful but only if there was some other way to set him up, the hand is very distracting, especially the sleeve on the top. Maybe a different angle, because I see you couldn't crop out the sleeve without losing the fish's tail. I'm starting with a 7 on this one.
That speckled trout does not seem very happy. I don't like the hand being there. Now if you had thown the fish up in the air, and captured the moment, now that would be something.
I can't tell if this should be framed or made into one of those amusing postcards you find in resort/fishing/hunting small towns.
I really like the colour the angle on the fish DOF.. very nice. How to make it better? Your model (the human one) should have been wearing plaid.
Cool shot, but poor fish! :/ I would have liked much better an off-center composition, with more space to the right. If the fish was alive, I don't think the shot was worth its suffering, no matter how good the shot is (and I think it's fairly good).
Oh dear, who is it here who likes their fish photos??????
Seriously though - a fish out of water is a good interpretation of Exposed theme. Not sure about the composition, the fishs tail (no pun intended) is lost in the woods. But exposure spot on.
Good points:superb idea, expression on fish face could not be better
Bad Points:such a shame the trees are there, if it was just blue this would be a 10 for sure
Score:8
