I gave this a 6. Liked the concept and thought the use of backlighting was good. The 'criticism' I had was; a variation in cropping/angle (dependent of course) to get it more symmetrical/balanced (ie; top left corner out and a fraction more space, maybe, on the right), the few 'blown' areas and just a sharper perspective/angle to 'use the backlighting' a bit more effectively (gain more transluscence in the fins/mouths etc), would likely have made this even better in my opinion. After reading your comments that this was in a market, likely difficult to gain a sharper perspective/perfect 'backlighting' and yes, the 'close up' shows a bit more detail re the backlighting, but this entry was more 'interesting', in my opinion.

I don't see how backlight enhances this subject!?
The photo does look good, but...

Amazing image, as one can nearly see right through the fish due to the back-lighting.....Very well done.....

Wow! I hope there is a story told behind this. Crystal clear! I can even see the teeth on these little guys! Nice shot!

Love the sharp focus, the great lighting, and the interesting composition. These guys are quite creepy and interesting at the same time. My only complaint is the blown highlights.

I'm giving you a high score to balance out the low votes you're gonna get because this is a bit grotesque. ;) I love grotesque, and it's a wonderfully shot image. The compostion is a little off... it doesn't seem balanced to me, but it's beautiful nonetheless.

Nice set up, I like the idea, only the glare on the orange at the bottom is overwhelming.

Good job, I've never seen fish like this before.

Great lighting, and way to make a subject that should be, well, disgusting, look visually appealing.
