Sometime I wonder how you are able to take some of your shots. The POV in this one is most original. A very interestin "plan" capture. Makes a strong composition and surprising detail on the fish. Thanks for posting and have a good week too.

Hi Luc,
I really like this unique angle you have on this one. Excellent all the way around.
