A  bad day of fishing...
Is better than a good day at work. An old saying but I can see why some one said it. I took this at Wilson Creek 10/22/06 and the fisherman was my prey as he kept moving everytime I got set up,requiring me to hop more rocks and set up again. I muttered to myself"oh you have no idea who you're dealing with and I WILL get the shot :wink: "

The human element definetely makes the shot as it gives scale. This looks like it was shot with a medium telephoto? The colors are so awesome.

I'm laughing at the replies as I kept wondering if the guy was indeed a photographer also and was antagonizing me"ok watch this..let's see how far you'll go to get this shot" :biggrin:
