This is a great idea for a shot. Good color. The composition is very nice, and I think the leaves are a real nice touch. I think the lighting may be hurting the image a little though. It seems a little harsh, and therefore is causing some deep shadows, that to me feel detrimental to the photo. I think that a little more subdued and even light could strengthen the presentation here.
I really like your composition. The leaves are a nice touch. Not so sure I like the shadows but I like the composition so much that I am willing to forgive the shadows.
It's not a bad photo, I like the composition and even the somewhat harsh lighting. My problem is that it kind of don't make sense to a knowlegable fisherman. You have three types of fishing represented. The rod and reel are for fly fishing the Memps spinners are for a spinning rod and reel and the bobbers are mostly for kids to use with their closed face Zebcos. It would be better to have had flies and maybe a hint of a fishing net with this rod and reel. Hope that helps!
