"Tarpon"

The tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) is one of the great game fish, renowned for its spectacular leaps when hooked. Its large silver scales and wide-cut mouth make it an immediately recognisable species, present from the Atlantic coasts to the tropical lagoons.

The framing is radical: head down, mouth open, as if the fish were surging towards the viewer in the middle of a jump. The angle comes from below, which gives the jaw its full amplitude. The body disappears in a loose line — nothing else matters but this suspended moment, just before the tarpon falls back into the water.
