Michael,
This is an interesting juxtaposition of repeating textures based on small units, scales on the fish and the pattern of the material on which it's laid out. I was going to say "resting" but I'm not sure how it feels. Do you think the fish is really fully awake at this time and I wonder how long does it take before they must be put back in the water so as not to give it a big hangover?
I'd never throw my dinner back in the water! Once I got it, well then finders keepers. Oh, sharks I do cut lose!
