Slightly out of focus

thx for commenting jaap,yes,it is slightly soft,but i uploaded it more for it's compositional values,use of space and the 'character' of the fish,rather than anything else.

You know I have been more fixated on your recent portraiture work that I decided it was time to take a more complete look at the collection. This one captured my attention - the colours of the fish coursing through the kaala paani. The fish being slightly blurred doesn't bother me given the context.

amar,i don't know how many people realise how tough underwater photography actually is.not only do ur photography skills have to be top notch because u only have that one hr underwater and can't change rolls while ur there(i haven't gone digital yet),but u have to have good scuba skills to remain steady in the water.the camera i use underwater right now is also a fixed focal length camera so all my close ups were actually taken a couple of inches from the subject.so u can understand how i feel whenever someone praises my underwater pix.thx.

I could only imagine how difficult it must be to shoot these. I imagine lighting and focus can pose interesting challenges. I certainly hope that we may see more of these from you. By the way, have you had an opportunity to visit Johannes Felten's underwater work, he's a on PN and a great photog.

I think it's amazing that you were able to capture this fish at all. Well done!
