First, Welcome to the Board! :wave:

You photo is nice but your strobe was misplaced. The area of sand in front of the shrimp was lit (lower right corner of the frame) while the shrimp and background behind is was missed by the strobe and is too dark. It looks like you got good focus, you can even see the plaid pattern in the main shrimps eyeballs!

Work on your strobe placement.... that would have been a great shot!

ps...I can't tell you how many of my last photos got trashed for the very same reason!

Sometimes you just gotta pull the trigger and hope for the best!

Hello,

that's the difference between a snapshooter and a professional. A pro will not just snap and hope for the best, he/she will put themselves in the right place for the right photo. It's all part of the planning. You plan on distance, angle, velocity and framing.
