So even MORE special, being that big.

Crappy picture of my buddy, but shows what I hope to be doing this weekend:

Yep. I find myself daydreaming about that fish pretty often the last week or so!

Nice photographer!

Pre-goby era smallmouth fishing on Lake Ontario with Dad:

Not the greatest quality, but I don't feel like digging up the original.

Thank you sir! I need to get some snow shots this weekend.

Nate, is that a panorama shot or just a really wide one?

here's one:

Nate, is that a panorama shot or just a really wide one?

It was originally just a standard 3:4 shot. I got too much of the hill I was standing on and it looked boring. It's amazing how much a little cropping can make the shot. I have a few pano's of that same shot though.

Fix that horizon, water runs downhill. 

Whiteface, from Upper Saranac Lake:

That horizon is high desert. Not anything of any size coming down. That lake is giant, 109,000 acres and it only has one inflow, the Truckee river, which is almost always less than 1,000CFS. There isnt an outlet whatsoever, all the river does is replace water that evaporates.

Then straighten it.  Its perfect, a wall hanger, but its crooked, and making me a little insane.

Oh, lol. I'm an idiot. Here.

Best pic in months. Period.

Praise be to Brannus. All I did was doctor it up a little bit. He's not just a great net man afterall ;D

x2... Great shot!

You guys can share the praise.  That picture has what so many otherwise "nice" shots don't: A person.  Its called "phony subject."  the picture is of the mountains, and water, and the lines and balance/contrast they create.  But toss in you wading the lake, you have a sense scope and added interest.  It takes a "nice" shot to a great one.
