Not sure about the fish pics now after all. There are quite a lot of them. And they all seem to have the same format : man lifts large fish in triumph. The backgrounds are the risky part, the glassy silvery surface is supposed to pick up details of sky and trees and yet also be kind of out of focus and vague in order to highlight the sharpness of the torn paper edges.


The images of aircraft may work better as they relate to a period 50 or so years ago, childhood memories and nostalgia for objects that no longer exist except in museum form. And yet there is this endless recycling of related imagery, both professionally produced and amateur, as well as three dimensional versions , from the feeble and poorly produced to high end working and controllable flying scale models.
