The sleepy Fish

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Small Arab Salmon

Spotted this beauty all asleep along the dried grasses of Bhandup Pumping station. It had positioned itself in such a way that it would hardly get noticed amongst the tall grasses, so getting a clean background was a real tough job, but eventually, after several trials at different apertures, with slightly wide open aperture got this frame.

Liked the details, colours and textures on the wings. Thanks for sharing.

The wing is angled away from the head, so at f5 the head didn't get covered by depth of field. That is the challenge of macro photography.
