Just a suggestion on a photo like that. The subjects are the FISH and the ANGLER, not the background. The background was very nice and adds to the photo, but the background is not the reason for the photo. Get that angler smile closer. And hold the belly (of the bass!) out a bit. One wants to appreciate the girth of a monster bass!

That photo didn't need a comment from me. It was a great photo. As I said, sometimes too much nice background can take away from the amazement and appreciation of a true fish of a lifetime. I want to count the scales of the fish. I hope not!!

The background reminds me a little of Clearlake
