Great story and shot, Jim. Love the penetrating eyes. The fish takes it up a notch. Definitely worth your wait in the cold.

Terrific close-up, with great detail, and you have captured the intense gaze very nicely. The fish is a bonus.

Love this "in your face" view. The fish really tops it off. Amazing shot!
