Hi Bill. Nice image. I like to fish rivers and lakes and I think you really nailed this image's background light. I've seen this lighting many times.

Looks good to me too Bill. Nice atmosphere.
Dave
I agree with Karm and Dave, great lighting and mood.

Thank you for your replys it is very much appreciated.
Yup I would like to float a fly past that rock.... Then bam! Fish on! Yea, you sure know how to set a mood. Thanks for posting Bill.
Overall I like this shot. Really love the upper half. Not crazy about the bottom portion but not being great at landscapes I'm not sure I have much to offer. Maybe a longer ss to soften it a bit to match the mood of the rest of the image?
Back home they say "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while". In other words, those few that I've posted are the one of a thousand that I capture that are worth sharing in public. The one type of landscape that I have concentrated on enough to develop a reasonable degree of proficiency is moving water. But for living in a state full of mountains, they still elude me for some reason
On the system that I'm on I can't see the edited version that you posted. I'll check it out tonight.
