10! I didn't vote on this because I just joined but it would have gotten a 10.
Beautiful shot. Ribbon well deserved.

Thank you everyone for the comments and votes!
This is a place that we fish regularly, so I knew I'd get the chance get a great image like this. I'd like to thank mother nature for cooperating. :-D (so much more of this is natural beauty than ability) And to break a few hearts, yes, it was staged. I had Aalden pump and reel (no fish) a few times while i took several shots.

A big congratulations to you on your ribbon and on a beautiful photo. I've only been here a short time myself, but I love seeing "new blood" score so highly.
The silhouette is crisp and perfect, and the sunset is colorful without being lurid. Well done.

An absolutely stunning image. Well composed, beautiful lighting.
My only nitpick is that when I first saw the image I said to myself "Wow that's impressive" and "that silhouette looks faker than a three dollar bill". The edges to my eye look impossibly sharp - almost as if a cardboard cutout was used in lieu of a human model. It just looks photoshopped to my eye which takes the image down several notches.

I am glad this one won a ribbon. I gave this one a 9. Excellent work here. I could totally see this on the cover of a fishing magazine. I am not a big fan of fishing or I probably would have given a 10. Congrats!

This is really gorgeous in composition and colors, and I love that the line is bowed and the angler leaning back. I can imagine the fish about to be reeled in. The leaves on the tree at the top look a little oversharpened on my monitor, but that's a just a niggle in the grand scheme of things.

For a sport photograph, this is very artistic.
There is this guideline for sport photography, and basically you have gone against all the rules.
However, photographically speaking, this is a great image. And, sometimes, as I have found, being artistic, ignoring rules can be a good thing.
Comp is good, but I think there is a bit too much negative space above. Silhouette is excellent, light great, texture great, excellent movement, emotional value great, overall I predict top 10.

Love the color, love the perfect shilouette, the sky, the composition. I happen to like it slightly better with most of the leaves at the top cropped out, but I would not be the least bit surprised if this ribbons.
