devil fish ping pong

i'm continuing to try to take a photo a day (pad); here are ones that i took today and yesterday:
  1. devil fish:
  2. ping pong tournament:

    the annual ping pong tournament at my workplace has started again, so there are lots of picture taking opportunities during the day at work. last year, i ended up with lots of blurry/fuzzy photos and/or ones of people's backs. i took the idea for this pic from one of etravus's shots last year, but mine is kinda fuzzy/grainy. but it is still going to count as my photo.a.day for today...

the devil fish looks like a tricky object to photograph and i can't quite tell the size of it. is it a very small thing? i like how you've chosen a background with similar warm colors and some pattern to it, but i'd also be curious to see how it would look against a darker background, if the fish would stand out more or not. and what is that open-mouthed snake thing on it's back? more devil fish, please!

yeah, i think the way i photographed it, you can't quite make it out. i took 4 photos, and in each of them, there was something i liked and didn't like (how blurry the background was, how sharp the details were, how it was composed, etc.) so yes, i'll try another that provides more info. it's about 4-5 in long, 3-4 in wide, 2-3 in tall maybe, it fits in the palm of my hand easily with room to spare. it's a little clay devil mask/head with mirrored teeth, and there's a tag saying it was made in bolivia. my mother-in-law gave it to my husband one year for christmas or his bday, i can't remember. but i like it a lot. it looks a little like a devil/fish/dragon to me...
