Comment by Retroesque:
I appreciate that you've gone to a lot of effort on this image. Not my cup of tea though - perhaps a bit too much post processing.

Oh, Christian, I know EXACTLY how you feel. My wife's family has a place in Vermont that her great-grandfather built almost 100 years ago. We go up there every summer; in fact, she goes for 3 weeks with the girls.

As a photo, this is just singing with suppressed energy: the cocked arm ready to cast, the dog ready to jump, and the clouds ready to unload. Very nice!

This is very strong, nice piece of work. It goes way beyond the "photographic", of course. How will the voters treat it? I'll be looking in a week :-)

Might have been a stronger image if you'd got the whole rod in - could have added more to the sense of impending motion in the shot.
