Wow, I had no idea we had those off of the Coney Island Pier. That looks like it’s about to hop on land and start walking…

what are they putting in the water in Brooklyn? wow. Seriously though, this photo is fantastic. I wish I could get these kind of crisp tones with my B&W photos. Well done.

Wonderful shot. Everything working to grand perfection. The way the fish’s flipper (fin? wing?) is banded by the white and set apart from the dark background is great, as is the shine of the fisherman’s rings against his skin. I’d like to look at this more.

I don't know if the colors are correct but it looks like a Variegate Darter. Here's the link http://pond.dnr.cornell.edu/nyfish/Percidae/variegate_darter.html

The framing and choice of DOF here are classic. Really nice.

This is one of my favorites. I love everything about the picture. It has commercial appeal as well.
