A very interesting composition Tyler. Most unusual. It definately makes me look twice. -Kurt Horsley

I always get a kick out of well-composed shots with wide-angle lenses and maximum depth of focus. This image is no exception. Nice juxtapositions and interesting textures. Good stuff, Tyler. Thanks for sharing.

Love it... surreal... almost like a DalĂ­ painting.

"National Geographic" would be proud of that shot. Perfect lens, perfect composition!

Thanks, to all, for the nice comments. I really like using the 14mm lens. It opens up a world of possibilities.

It amazes me that my trophy mule deer photos don't generate more interest than a dead fish. Go Figure?

Cheers,
Tyler
