    Question Lone angler...

    More from my fly fishing project.
    When I shot this photograph, I was really taken by the reflections on the river.
    What are your thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I posted this and deleted it because I had problems uploading the file, but all is good now.

    I like this one a lot, Brian. The reflections are cool and the bright one in the foreground could have been too much but because of the nature of the Holga it blurred it softening its harshness and kept it in check.
    I like the inclusion of the fisherman in the distance and the overall composition. This is a good photo.
    One of my favorites so far from your holga works.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Re: Lone angler...

    Very nice scale of things here. It drives home the point of his loneliness much more effectively. I'm begining to like these holgas much more recently. Also, the only thing i would critique here is the apparent tilt to this. other than that well done.

    Brian I like it as well. The composition is very good as well the subject and holga style. Nice work.

    If you keep posting Holgas of this quality I just might get converted as a fan of them.
    Excellent Work.
