As the saying goes, “A bad day fishing is better than a good day working.” And these guys are making the best of a late summer’s day of fishing deep in Lousiana bayou country. In spite of the idyllic setting, each fisherman appears totally engrossed in what may lay beneath the surface.

22 Sep 2016Interesting photograph. You’ve got a lot going on. My eye gets pulled down in one direction and then pulled up in the other. I have to agree with the saying too. I’d rather be fishing than working in my office if I had any choice in the matter. 🙂

17 Oct 2016Yes, there is a lot going on which makes it have the feel of a painting or illustration as much as a photo, to my eye. Thanks for your comment, Bun, and for visiting.
