Nice to have the fish and I like the HA, but there's not enough distance between BKG/Subject, and so with limited DoF and super smooth backdrop it all just jars/fights a bit with me. BKG are always tricky and can make or break an image, however with the hefty blacks areas looking slightly posterised and fuzzy they tend to draw the eye IMHO, so it's not really working overall for me. Saying that I binned a whole days shoot with the KF's because of the backdrop last month.

The perch could be better and could be changed if access was easy. The whites of the snow have a blue tinge which is surprising, think it would help if it was removed/reduced.

I appreciate this is in town with limited options, but its not a keeper for me.
