I really thought this might place higher! Very nice shot, Justine. I really like your props and set up. I love the contradictions in the reel issue. (sorry to laugh, but it just sounds sooo familiar!)
This is an excellent photo of the subject. The background looks more like a car rim instead of a fly-reel. I think maybe a fish mount or something would've been more conducive to the picture.
Neat shot, great detail! Love your choice of backgrounds (I had to think about it a minute and you\'ll probably \"lose\" non-fly fishers, but I like it!) Could you have used a smaller piece of cork? 9 Swash Changed my mind, it's a 10!
Is that a fly reel in the background? IMO it does not add anything to your picture, it is too blurred to be recognizable and too prominent to go un-noticed. IMO you might have used a simple black background or similar type. A technically perfect fly though. 8
Very nice shot. I love the detail that can be seen on the fly. Very nice warm colors. This is what I think to be the best stock photography shot of the challenge. Excellent work! Good Luck! I hope this makes the top 3 if not 1st.
A very sharp photo and this would be very good in some magazines. I can't tell what the background is --- that's probably good --- but I like the way the yellow dots lead your eye into the subject of the photo.
Is that a fishing reel in the background? I don't know if I like it or it bugs me but the fly is wonderful. Perhaps rotating the cork so that it's parallel to the edge of the photo would make it better for me. Excellent macro!
