Intriguing photo. Nice use of rear-curtain flash synch. Uncluttered, dark background good choice to accentuate the motion.

This photo was shot in late afternoon winter light, streaming

from my kitchen window. I did a spot-exposure for the wood and

used a 28mm lens. I braced the camera on the chair top. I was

just trying for interesting patterns--light and dark. Several

observers have seen a tropical fish.

Originally, I was thinking of portraying this photo the way I saw it.

After projecting it at a camera club three years ago, several folks

said I should invert it.

This vessel is slowly disappearing from the Chesapeake. I think

the inversion symbolizes this notion. What do you think?
