A dead fish floats on its side at the edge of a murky green body of water. Its belly is pale and its scales are visible. The fish is partially submerged, with its head and part of its body visible above the waterline. The water is a uniform green color and appears still, with a slight ripple around the fish. The edge of the water body is lined with a sandy or rocky shore. In the background, larger, darker shapes of other fish can be seen beneath the surface of the water. The scene is lit by sunlight, creating a slightly hazy effect.
