I am sure this image will not appeal to everyone but for me it illustrates of nature in balance and the Circle of Life.
A coho salmon lies in the shallows of a small pond near Mendenhall Lake near death trapped by receding water after spawning. It will provide food for the bears of eagles now that its eggs have been deposited.

Great zen like quality to it mike. Seems like the stones are floating in a sunset sky. Very tranquil and beautiful
This appeals to me. Great shot
wow great picture
It’s beautiful. The salmon and the stone look like they’re suspended in space.
Fascinating image…. your description explains it well!
Sad,yes but this is life and nature,like the cloud reflection in this image.
I love it… it’s the circle of life at it’s finest… and I love that eagles can eat upon it.
in the midst of such beauty, death…yet in death, rebirth, nourishment and regeneration…..
wow, amazing shot. love the reflections. cool that the salmon was so close to you.
At first I thought it was a well placed pebble! interesting juxtaposition of death and a heavenly light.
