Wading through the sky

A fisherman tries his hand in the Fox River in Dundee, Illinois. I don't think he caught anything worth keeping. But I did with my camera.

Yes, James, I doubt very much he caught anything as nice as you did.

Did you use a polarizing filter for this? The water and reflection are lovely.

Please forgive the pun - but this image is heavenly. Beautiful values throughout - and the detail of the fisherman and the ripples of water around him are essential. A perfect composition.

heyjules, I think the only fish in that river are carp ... ugh. No filter used on this pic. Just extremely nice light at the time.

stephen, thanks for the kind words.

Looks like you caught the sky...nice composition, with the fisherman in the upper right.

That is a great shot. Love the way the subject is off in the far corner. Gives the photo extra mystery and depth.

This is totally awesome. Great shot. That is some clear water.
