Catch of the Day

Possibly a bit of a "post apocalyptic gollum" going on here, I'm not entirely sure what path my mind was heading down when I did this.
I do know that it was taken with the 5+2 theme of "Animal Instincts" in mind but after processing it, that's not going to happen.
I do know I like it very much - it's good to be doing these again.
Best on black I suspect.

Cool

[Graeme Stevens]

@dolanbianchi Thank you very much :)

Gosh, bizarre I'm taking a lot of comfort in that humanising hiking boot and jean cuff. The rest is haunting. The crouch, mask and the fish are very unsettling. I really love the pov the texture and the depth to the horizon.

[Graeme Stevens]

@carla42 Thanks very much - it was unsettling for the other people on the beach as well ;)

[Nancy]

Do people see you? .....hA! Amazingly scary crazy pic! Reminds me of a 50's movie :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@nanderson They see me more often than I had hoped - I think a rumour will start soon enough...and thank you

[Paul J]

This is great, Graeme. Clarity is flawless.

[Simply Amanda]

You rock the gas mask!

[Ukandie!]

Love this!

[Graeme Stevens]

@ukandie1 Thank you very much :)
@amandal Quite pleased to be half naked as well ;)
@bigugly Thank you kindly good sir :)

[Yeshanghai]

Amazing capture

[Simply Amanda]

Great your naked reference crashed my computer.

[Julie Duncan]

TASTY! ;)

[☠northy]

Wonderfully disturbing

[Graeme Stevens]

@northy Thank you very much, I try ;)
@juliedduncan Delicious and nutritious...
@amandal My powers are increasing....
@yeshanghai Thank you so much :)

[Rosie Kerr]

Apocalyptic protein!

[Graeme Stevens]

@rosiekerr Always good for some brain food ;)

[sally agnew]

Can I say the clouds look super cool :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@hermann You can whatever you like ;) They're not the clouds I'd hoped for today but they'll have to do.

[Kane Arlow]

Awesome shot, although the mask may make it difficult to consume the fish. But I would like to see it happen :)

[Mek]

Those rumors stretch out over the world by now ;-)

[Debs Stott]

Are you the catch? Hahaha!

[Annie D]

nice fish :)

[Caroline]

Yes I love this!!! The processing makes it so odd and dramatic, very cool feel. Um "post apocalyptic gollum" haha!!! I love that others saw you do this. :)

[Sue Jenkin]

I like the tone of the image, very dramatic

[Nitrogene]

Interesting concept, awesome sky and really has a post-apocalyptic feel.

[Graeme Stevens]

@nitrogene Thanks very much :)
@mahjongfan I'm a big old drama queen ;)
@kerosene Thanks - yes, got caught out doing the by a group of walkers. It was going to be my animal instincts shot but when I say it I though...nope, keeping this one ;)
@annied It was delicious
@dibzgreasley Pfft, not likely
@mastermek Excellent, it's about time
@karlow75 I'll just suck it through the vents...

[Trinda Love]

Fav, super job on getting such wonderful range of colors and textures. My husband was a bit confused but he is nit doing 365 after all.

[Richard Sayer]

I've spent 10 minutes trying to write a rational critique of this... it can't be done - so I'll just say Fav.

[Elytra]

I love the gollum-esque feel in this photo, fantastic!

[Caroline]

@trinda haha I think Graeme would confuse many who are not privy to 365! :)

[Graeme Stevens]

@trinda Thanks very much - I tend to confuse a lot of people ;)
@vignouse Why be rational...I never am!
@elytra Thank you so much :)
@kerosene Yes, yes I would. And do.

[Joan Robillard]

Not a selfie!

[Graeme Stevens]

@joansmor Certainly is ;)

[tony gig]

Brilliant shot...Fav

[Graeme Stevens]

@tonygig Thank you very much

[Harbie]

It does look like a gollum pose...haha! Very creative!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@harbie Thanks very much :)

[Kerry McCarthy]

Well done!

[Graeme Stevens]

@mccarth1 Thank you very much :)

[Maggiemae]

Must be a really dead fish to be smelling so bad you had to wear a gas mask! Nice silver tones!

[Graeme Stevens]

@maggiemae Thanks very much - it was actually freshly filleted for the occasion

[Osia Strasner]

Very, very, very cool!! Good to see you back on your game....and, with clothes on, too!! And, now you have a friend.....FAV!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@panthora Thank you kindly :)

[Bill Fenske]

Love it!

[Graeme Stevens]

@bill_fe Thanks very much - I fell off those rocks shortly after taking this...just kind of tipped over backwards

[Bill Fenske]

@graemestevens Ouch!

[Graeme Stevens]

@bill_fe Soft tissue bruising even, and a limp for about a week

[Bankmann]

Sci-fi weirdo fav! :-D

[Graeme Stevens]

@bankmann Thank you kindly :)
