Beautiful details :thumbsup:

Colour palette is pleasing, but most of the dark details are hidden by the clipped blacks.

Curious as to the awkward framing choice as well? :question:

[Sunfish]

Looks great. Very crisp. What is your gain setting?

[hashanr]

Cheers Ray,
Im using 139 gain, Bin 1

Cheers Andy !
I get your point on dark details, I will process v2 of my capture with less clipping.

As per framing, I chose this framing because I wanted to have a different composition to most other photos out there. And, I thought it had better to have more interesting things in the left side of the image over right (since our eyes would naturally go from left to right when looking at an image)
