Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United States

Great capture. I really like the "spot"...I could see how that could be mistaken for an eye. I also like how the stripe continues down his real eye. Great job!

@Melissa W.: I suppose the big spot is defensive... meant to scare away bigger fish who may want to eat him. It was a beautiful subject!

incredible capture! The lighting off the fish is really beautiful.

Very cool, Josh. This one, with the isolated fish, makes more of an impact for me than yesterday's "circus." The color – especially the white – is just stunning!

@Ron: Thanks Ron, glad you like it. I agree, I am a fan of simplicity in shots usually! Appreciate the comment.
