Feedback welcome.

Beautiful fish and well captured, Scott. Salmon are such wondrous creatures.

Bob, Arlen: thanks!
Next year I'll see if a polarizer can help.

Scott, your pictures are good as they stand, but a polarizer will definitely help if you're going to keep doing this. I take a lot of water and fish pictures, and nearly always try to use one unless the reflections themselves are part of what I want in the picture. I just bought a new Sony RX100 VII and took it out on the river today, and there were a number of pictures that I didn't snap because the reflections obscured my subjects (which I could see because I was wearing polarized sunglasses). But my polarizer for this camera arrives tomorrow. Can't wait!

Thanks, Arlen! My RX100 iii is one of my favorite cameras, and your extended range will be great. Most of these fish were shot around 100-150 mm.
