Pymatuning Lake, PA

"Fish Heads, Fish Heads, Rolly Polly Fish Heads"

Actually not just heads, but whole bodies. This was taken at a spillway where the carp congregate in a small space to be feed bread. It's been going on for years. It's known as the place that the ducks walk on the backs of the fish! A couple more shots from the day at the end of the gallery http://www.pbase.com/photogrif/critters

There is a very glossy feel to this image. Interesting capture Ross.

Really neat shot. I have heard of places like this but this is my first look.

And you say these guys are waiting for bread!? I'm guessing the entire Merita truck wouldn't suffice.

Good photo Mike, very different! Are you sure these guys haven't cross-bred with seagulls?

Why does this remind me of the So. Calif freeways???

Cool shot, Mike! I love their expressions; I feel like that some days myself.
Nice job!

This is so interesting. I am glad I opened up the shot to take a closer look. It is amazing that the fish do this. I like this shot.
