You must be pleased with light in this one Dave.

A good feeling like when Spurs beat Man City! Grin

Nicely done.

Yep, the mono works really well, Dave.
That thoughtful look is so well captured.

Wonderful "catch" here Dave unlike the fisherman who looks as though he has just about had it for the day.
Maybe wrong plaice wrong time ( see what I did there ?)
Mono for me.

Just love this Dave and I think most of us that have being fishing knows that feeling.

Love what you have done with the black and white, so I thought I would have a go at the colour one. I have not changed anything in the image, just a bit of colour toning. I wanted to make it a darker feel to the image. Just used the new selection tools in camera raw.

Great image...

Thanks Robert, nice mod. Seems a little more natural.

Mono for me Dave, the dark tones seem to match the mood of the fisherman.

An air of quiet contemplation, which - they tell me - is what fishing is about.

Dreaming about the big one that got away, or hoping for divine guidance?

Did it move.. no, hang on it could have or was it the wind... oh dear, those crabs are at the bait again.
I wish i'd taken up photography instead. That chap over there's getting plenty of keepers...Smile

A little delay in giving my first GEA of the week, because I was having trouble with the Awards Manager (I don't usually use it: thanks to Malc, as so often, for sorting out a problem).

Why? Beautiful, tight composition, with the rod pointing the same way as the man's eyes, and that distant expression. A man lost in the flow, which would be ironic if he was fishing on a canal...

The depth of field is just right, suppressing the background, but allowing enough to show to indicate an urban rather than a rural setting.

I knew when I saw it that this was a contender for me. Nice one, Dave!

Well spotted, I used to be a very good fly fisherman/woman , I could handle that as you’re constantly moving, I wouldn’t have the patience to sit and look at a rod for hours.
