in every group there is a 'slow one'. I just figured out that in this group, that 'slow one' would be me!!!!....I just figured out that haybales and fivebales are riding the same ship....duh. Everything is beginning to make sense now...whew

Judy can't be much bigger than that halibut. this has a real nautical feel....bright sunshine...deep blue water...lot of white and a few splashes of red..The cook should be happy with the size of this fish..is this typical???

The white's on Judy's shirt are showing detailing because her shoulder is shading from the sun...can't say the same about Mr. Halibut. Maybe if Judy and Mr. Halibut had snuggled into the shade, on the right.

Auuuuch,
poor guy never had a chance. Don't mind eating them, but I can't kill a fish, I dive with em.
Have to agree with Fays, the white seems to be blown out.
Maybe you want to consider darkening a little.
Microsoft office has a "Picture Manager" who can do lots of things for you.

Thank for looking and comment on Judy’s prize fish. She caught this while I was taking Mac, our dog, to shore. She was told to watch the beach for bears while I was on shore, but you can see how important I am.

Thanks for the suggestion about the whites. I will see what I can do with them. By the way we are still eating halibut.

Fantastic catch... I am sure she had quite a struggle with this one.. You left her alone with bears...lol Good job.

If Judy happened to see that the bears in the woods had you on their menu, she could come and lure them away from skinny you with her fat halibut (sorry, no tartar sauce)

This is the third one we caught while on anchor. One was 25 pounds while the other was 145 pounds.
