Although this bowmouth guitarfish, or shark ray, is pictured in near-silhouette lighting, the strange, almost eerie eyes and mouth are slightly visible in the face. The back-lighting adds drama and interest. Feel free to edit and enhance the photograph in any way that you want. The fish could be lightened, while the backlit background could be darkened if needed. This fish is also known as a bowmouth wedgefish.
