Great shot - love the tones and the defeated feeling here...very moving.

A wonderful example of large format photography.

Certainly it is a reminder of the past when large format was the only option.

This image shows a remarkable control of plane of focus. Especially noticeable is how the tip of the fishing rod is out of focus. This really adds to the image as it prevents the eye from following the fishing rod and escaping from the image itself.

There is a very strong inverse triangle here as will really adding to the composition. Following the fishing rod to the fisherman and up to the tree in the distance. This is very well composed.

The out of focus background and the soft detail in the water add a magical element to this image that really elevates it above the rest. In addition, the use of extreme tilts to add the vignetting at the top frames this image wonderfully.

With all of these camera movements and planning it is very difficult for me to imagine that this was not a staged or at least well-planned shot. However, that in no way detracts from this image. Indeed, it reminds me of the photography done during the Civil War and just after where such techniques were used to express the lives of the people in the army and the Indians living on the plains.

This is a wonderful image that is flawlessly executed with strong composition and it conveys a wonderful sense of time and place.

Kris,
I love this image.. partially because its a nice photo. Partially becuase used to live in the Bozeman area. Is this down on the Galetin (sp?) River? I used to live off of 4 corners near the ice arena and we would fish down there all the time. ah... nostalgia! :) Congrats on the nice image!
