I like these ones. What do you think. Do the two shots work well together?

WW,
How far the eel when you took the photos?

For what it's worth I really love these shots - they are not only expertly done but also impart an anthropomorphic identity or character to these little chaps.

They remind me also of that Dean martin song about digital capture:

    When an eel rushes out,
    Bumps your heel with its snout,
    It's a moiré.


Sorry!

Sadly that is all too often the case, Gary.
