Hi Pieter,

well done on the capture and composition.
A little more eye contact, instead of head on. Still a good shot.

I guess when you are as old as Jaap, you'll look like the "Carp man" Jaap. LOL
"Look Ma, no teeth." "Hey, were are my dentures?"

Fine, clear image here, Pieter! I'm not so sure it looks like Jaap, though... I like the composition with the fish off center, though centered might work too, for such an unusual subject. Nice work!

Thank you Pieter - that´s a great catch. Sunday I´ll go fishing with my son. - Picture is great, excellent colours and sharpness. Perfect timing on this shot. I can see his eyes. Super picture - there laughs the fishermas heart.

Hi Pieter, this is just wonderful!! Excellent catch and is this quite an unusual pose for a carp?
I even think a centre composition would look good here.
Well captured, thank you, you make me smile looking at Jaap.
Well done

LOL, what a hilarious capture! Why doesn't Adam have a humorous category for TrekNature? I think he should!

Great job on this one, were you on a boat?

Hello Pieter
Very funny shot with the mouth open. Like the effect of the ripples. The eyes just needed to stand out a bit more.

Well done Pieter, Sharp and a bit of "carper" humor thrown in..Nice POV. I have to commend you for taking a not so interesting shot/subject and making it of interest.

Ha, ha, this is really nice picture Pieter ;-) Superb moment and POV. Looks like monster from children's fairy tales.
By the way - did you know that Jaap Polak is most 'Polish' Dutchman? 'Polak' in Polish means Pole ;-)

Prachtig Pieter,

Pieter, this is really nice.

Excellent title, excellent sharpness. I do think sharpness is the winner in this shot.

I also enjoy composition and pose. It seems the fish did want to strike a pose for you.

Beautiful shot Pieter - lovely effect of ripples created by Carp movement and well composed. He looks sort of angry - charging at you. Well taken

Dagsê Pieter
You have improved tremendously, this is nice to see and to say too. Keep up the good work. Seems like you are traipsing all over the globe? When are you comming to shoots some spotted cats?
Love this one, and the reference to the KARP and Japp, brought a chuckle to my dial. This is the type of thing I really miss, being away from TN.
A splendid picture.
