Shot and processed this a little differently, pretty happy with the result.
Spot Metered, Manual
70mm @ f2.8
ISO 400
With the shot itself I went for a perspective from underneath. Essentially showing the whites of its underside, vs the colours and patterning of it’s back.
Generally speakings thats against the grain.
Processing I played around with adjusting the light in a way that would be best be described as vignetting, but not quite. Sublely changing “light values” in different areas of the photo.
Now that I’ve had some time to digest it, and come back to it I see a couple minors flaws that need correctng :). Love digital
Kinda agree Will, the hook damage is its biggest fault, whether or not I send it anywhere….dunno. I normaly sit on photos for a couple months, often revisting before deciding anything.
Normally end up deleting bottom/up perspectives almost automatically, but I like the way its head/face jumps out, which starts from the edge of the flared gill, moves along the underside of the jaw, and carries you up and forwards, thats almost 3 dimentional. I’ve scores of traditional similiar shots that are more top/downish, but the “pop”and separation of the face, isnt nearly as well defined. .
Either way definately going to play with it further.
Realized I tried something sorta similar with a wee walleye a while back – your approach might be worth a
Wouldn’t that be nice, big toothy lunge/ N Pike and flared gills 🙂
Actually thinking about a fall trip to one of Ontarios Musky meccas this year. Too early to know for sure but hopin it comes together.Did you get that eye on the fly?
Hoping to do that opener this year (2nd Sat May) as well.With the shot itself I went for a perspective from underneath. Essentially showing the whites of its underside, vs the colours and patterning of it’s back.

Thanks John for info on what you did — once again great shot — where in Ontario are you planning on going for muskie (no specifics needed but area???? — just curious as hope to get onto good size muskie myself this year — on my “to do” list LOL LOL)
Should’ve figured that one out — record musky caught in that area if memory serves me right — sorry to have hijacked thread momentarily — again great pics
Don’t sweat it, Im not a thread dictator. Threads go where they go.
I know the current live release (est 65 pounds) was just caught this past fall down around Ganonaque on the St. Lawrence. That area is really hot in recent years for Musky chasers. Thought about going there, but I like the Moon river, have fished alot for Walleye and have tied into a couple Skis before kids came along 🙂
The Moon I can’t recal if its the current record or if it was the old live release…I want to say its the current record around 68 pounds and was caught ometime in the last 10 years.
