Fishing
Uploaded: August 02, 2018 | Entered: August 02, 2018 11:26:35
This little girl, maybe eight or so, was fishing with her mom, dad, and little brother - though brother was mostly just messing around. The kids were one place, the parents farther down the finger of land they were fishing from. I saw the possibility for this kind of shot, so I went on down and got permission from the parents to take photos of the kids - which they were happy to give me when I told them I was only interested in silhouettes. End of the story? The girl caught the only fish I saw caught (too small to keep but still a thrill), and the family now owns two small prints, this one and another of the dad and brother taken a bit later after he came up to join the kids.

I quite like your thought, Martha, about the way the fishing pole and line gives the image depth. You are so right. Thank you for taking the time to share that thought. #11717994
