Creatures of land and air often grace our pages, but not so many of an aqueous environment. Probably because photographing them in their own medium requires special equipment and approaches. In the interest of diversity, I'll add a couple. These fish were subsequently tagged and released as part of biological studies.

These are gorgeous works!

In my area there is an annual salmon festival in fall where the kinds of subjects you showed above would do overwhelmingly well.

Nicely done!

Thanks, Justan. Is that the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival that you're referring to?

Been a long time since I've done any fisheries work.  Brings back memories...  Both well presented.
