    I'm not quite sure where to put this, but I want to get some feedback. I want to know which of these pics is the best and why. These are reduced resolution versions. They're the best from a set I took trying to get this general shot, with plenty of others that got thrown away.

    ^ I agree the whole thing is in focus and looks great.

    Pic 4~ I like the depth of field in this pic. Goes good with the angle. Really accentuates the vivid markings on the face.

    I like 2 because more of the fish is in focus. I like depth of field photos like #3, but with such a cropped shot I prefer more of the pic in focus.

    Where's 4?

    Thanks for the responses everyone! I appreciate your input. I was thinking #1 or #4, because of the combination between the darker background and the angle he's at giving it depth.

    I see #4 just fine...are you sure its missing?

    #3 hands down. It's best to focus on the eye and head, and also try to get the body in focus as well.
