Nice. It has a feel of sepia though it is not sepia but image looks rich in colours. Backlit from fish is making the image for engaging.

Never had Bombay Duck before. It sounds like a delicacy in India…or maybe it is eaten all the time. Good shot. Love how the women is in focus, yet the Bombay Duck still shines in the background too :)
