Uploaded: December 07, 2004 07:52:18
Shot last Sunday here in The Woodlands, Texas. A road has opened giving folks easy access to a new fishing spot. Used a 70-200mm @ 200mm and cropped in Photoshop CS.

Murry this is awesome. Love the lines and the off center fisherman! GREAT JOB on this. #194602Marcie A. Fowler December 07, 2004
I really wish you Texas people would quit rubbing in the fact that you still have warm weather (LOL)!! Send some this way please. Last Saturday I had winter coat, hat, mittens, flannel lined jeans, etc on!! Fantastic image Murry. I too really like the lines, curves and the placement of the fisherman. I don't know if he caught anything but you caught a great image!! #958587Tom Andersen December 07, 2004

Beautiful imagry and subtle coloring, Murry, the only fishing done up here these days is 'ice' and some days its even too cold for that. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan #958832Dan Holm December 07, 2004

Thanks Ann and Bonnie! The scale of the young fisherman to the concrete structure is what caught me eye immediately. It was crawling with kids and most were waving at me to take their picture so I was lucky to isolate this one shot :0) #959428Robin L. Wehrman December 07, 2004
