Monk Fish

Any fish that tries to establish a communication with me, does not get put on my table...

I'm getting distracted by the rather nice line of fish on the left so it takes time for me to see the "greeter." There's probably some way to unify this composition.

I think a simpler composition might have had more impact. I'd like to see the shot more concentrated on using the lines of the fish. Of course you could argue that would be a different photo (showing my interest in graphic elements) and completely miss the humor value of your shot

Is that the stand where the guy pulls the string and the fish jumps up at you?

This is an amazing shot of the fish. It has so much to do with our daily life, and I love the comment about the fish present.

Humorous

This is very funny! I laughed out loud when I saw this. Thanks for my first laugh of the day!

Yup. It's the fish stand at the Pike Place Market with the lunging monk fish and the flying salmon.

That's a great gag. We were in town 3 years ago for a conference and the vendor lunged the fish at my buddy, who screamed like a girl and leaped backward, almost knocking about 4 people over. I couldn't breathe.
