Hi Ed. Not too much negative to critique here. This is a good shot. The background contrasts the convict nicely, and the exposure is good too. It's slightly darker on the lower part of the fish, but it looks natural. For some reason the eye looks a little soft, it may have just barely exceeded the DOF threshold. maybe ~f8 should get it nice and sharp from the distance you are shooting. Another thing you could do if you really wanted to take it further, is fix the flash teardrop in the eye.
This is one hell of a convict. i've never seen one like this.

Yeah eye is off. Shame.
I would also shave a little off the right side to get the middle of the eye in the middle of the shot. Nice clarity in the body. I think (in an ideal situation) the background could be a touch darker too.
Still a very nice shot - well done

Great photo! If I were to critique:
- Eye focus is a bit off.
- A bit of 'hot spots' on the top, but barely noticeable (and yes, photographing that fish could be a real pain).
- do fix the teardrop effect in the eye.
- For some reason, I would prefer if the fish kept it's mouth closed, but that's just me. :P

It's sharp, easy contrasts (makes it comfortable), though a little soft on the eye.
Overall good work.
And you got a really nice frame... Made the script yourself?

Well then I've got some sucking up to do. Because I really want that script.
Only for aquatic photos to post here though. It looks so much better than my current script, and it got all the EXIF and I hate making boarders for pictures that's not all that artistic.

Alex that script is SOOOOOO Much better than any I have seen, it autosizes the photo and creates all that info, I love how the info is not dry, it's in sentence form. Awesome!
