Bluefin Trevally
The Bluefin Trevally is a predatory fish with a diet dominated by fish and supplemented by cephalopods and crustaceans as an adult. Juveniles feed mostly on small crustaceans, but turn to a fish based diet as they mature. The species utilized various hunting techniques ranging from aggressive midwater attacks, reef ambushes, and snapping up prey items missed by the larger predators they often follow. The species grows to a maximum length of 117 cm (3.8 feet) weighing in at 43.5 kg (95 lbs.). Both commercial and recreational fishermen regard the bluefin trevally as a popular target.

However, the creation of this image exists beyond what the camera photographs. This is an alternative dimension of visual art that falls outside photography and outside the scope of oils, charcoal, pastels, acrylics, or watercolor. I hope that this vital and distinct form of art will co
