I wonder where this was taken. Most certainly in a lake? I don't know much about fish but that looks like a freshwater bass. The water is so clear and that fish doesn't even look real. Cool pic
While rather kitschy looking by today's standards, I think his work is entertaining and inventive for the time. Silver Springs has since fallen into disrepair but remains a gorgeous area of Florida, as are all of the springs.
P.S. The largemouth bass in the picture is fake, and is in several of his shots, haha.
