Title: Last Season's Catch
Post by: Bob_B on December 10, 2016, 05:57:29 pm

I'm unlikely to sell this one to the local seafood restaurant  ;), but it keeps drawing my eye to the texture of the scales and the way the light moves over the bass' corpse. Your thoughts and comments are welcomed. Thank you for viewing.

This is an excellent capture!
Not pretty, but I could see a niche for this as a fine art image.

Interesting! You may not be able to sell the specimen to the local Fish Market but you might sell the photo. :)

i find interesting the composition and the subject choice. I like less this low light and its problematic macro and micro contrast.
All the best,

I like this a lot. I find pictures of death and decay can often have a strong potential for metaphor. Have you tried it as black and white?

Thanks for your suggestion Michael. I have not processed it as a strict b/w, but may give it a go in a few days.
