Those third and fourth shots are really great. I can see me sitting on the bank of one of our Texas lakes waiting for a nibble.

It pays to sometimes go back and see what you missed

These are great cmpositions Patrick. Really like the fisherman of course. The fire hydrant is really nice with the differing colors. I Love the poppy on the fence... that's my fave. Nice going!

All are nicely done. I like the how weathering of the fence matches the weathering of the fire hydrant as well as the play of the colors. I also especially like the poppy hanging over the weathered fence

I totally agree on the fire hydrant one... great play of colours that work really well together. And the same goes for the flower shot. Both are so vibrant looking.

As for the fisherman, perhaps his thought is, "That guy was right. There is a fine line between fishing and just sitting on the shore looking like an idiot." No offense to any of you fishy types out there.
