contrast photography activity

I like how in this photo the shoreline directly behind the fish is highlighted  but the pavement to the left of it and the deeper water to the right of it is not. One can get a sense of texture from the dead fish and the wet highlighted pavement. The darkness of the mouth and the hole where the eye used to be suggests death, but the highlighted shoreline (which is also a vertical line) brings us right up to the blue sky which kindof suggests color and life. And this is a salmon so the circle of life of a salmon is really brought ot to me in this photo.
