Assertive little beasties when there's food around. Nicely chaotic scene.

The author has done well to reduce the over done highlights inherent in this type of image of splashing fish. A little overly busy, it might have been better to attempt a capture with fewer fish, but it works as it is. Rich in detail which is a plus. Technically a difficult capture, the author has done well to reduce the potential side effects of too much action in too little space. Not a perfect image, but very close. Well done.
