I had my brother wear my old fly fishing vest and hold my rod and one of my flys. I lit it with a shoot through umbrella from the upper left. The focal length was 25 mm.
Lets hope this does better than my last perspective entry in which i recieved a 4.9 on.

the fly is nice and sharp, but partly obscuard by the fingars, my dad was a keen fly fisherman, and his fly collection was very colourfull, that element is lost in b&w, personaly I would have cropped the top of the frame level with the bottom of the top pockets, making it les distracting.
6 - Like the concept. Wish the focal area was a little wider (or else more to the fore - reducing the focus on the forearm as well) to include the fingers a little more, even if they were still oof, but the fly was more in focus, and more visible. A slight variation in composition too, perhaps bringing a little more space into the left of frame, not sure. The b&w works well, as would likely any other toning. The character/'story' is good. A more refined crop as well, especially at bottom. Good use of perspective.
