beautiful colouration and nicely caught moment. To my eye it looks like it needs a touch of clockwise rotation?
That is a beauty - well captured. Didn't think it would tackle a perch of that size because of the dorsal spikes. Have you tried pulling the whites back a bit? They look slightly hot on my setup. I fiddled about with it a little and got more detail in the neck.

I hope it doesn't get infected with tapeworm. I can remember on a Parasitology course at Liverpool University being given perch, caught from Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) Wales, and examining their liver for white cysts which when cut open tapeworms emerge. That's why I would never eat raw fish from that day to this Great behavioural shot with a touch of humour.

Hi Dave excellent picture and the detail in the fish and the bird is brilliant.
