A lovely setting and the warm fire adds to the mood.
I know still life shots arent your normal type of shot - [robably a few minor tweaks would have helped to get the votes a bit higher:
The table and BG seem to be at a bit of an angle and not straight on to the camera, The white balance is nice and warm - probably done on purpose but maybe nudge it a bit towards a whiter setting, the background looks a little cluttered and distracting.
An even more minor nit pick - most fly fishermen seem to be whiskey drinkers...
great fishing stories shot, well set up; perhaps this would have worked better as a night interior shot, to give a bit more character and warmth than a full on day shot with an overexposed window. That would have put it over the top for me.
Lovely warm tones and a solid story telling (magazine like) image. I have a few bottles of Alexanderfontein in my cellar too, bought at the farm. I can see scoring issues for you with your horison appearing unleve due the angled POV l. Must be a South African. Rian? Stephen? Johann? Ammie? Hehe.
