Cold water fun *

This guy is fishing at sunset in 2C water with the air temperature -6C. Later he told me that he can not resist more than half hour in such condition. He showed me his rod and it developed a layer of ice around it.

Lovely shot, Alexeig! The reflections are beautiful and the color conveys the chill in the air and the coldness of the water. Good work! ~Sharon

Thanks, aam. Half kilo is a small fish according to our standards. Somehow, fish grows big in cold waters

Beautiful photo. Looks so peaceful and quite that I don't blame him for going fishing. Half kg of fish is not a bad catch.

Many thanks everybody for all the comments. Brent: he did caught one fish but considered it to be too small (0.5 kilo) and let it go

Great shot Alexeig. I like all the reflections and little bit of motion. Did he catch anything other than a case of the shivers?

This looked like fun until I read how cold it was! That is one dedicated fisherman! I like his reflection in the water, the composition and the nice motion blur to the rod. Gret shot Alexeig! :-) CJ

I wonder how his hands and fingers felt. Good capture, Alexeig. --Mary Anne

Yes good shot mate.

I love the mood, the lighting, the composition, the peacefulness. Great job. Paty

I really like this one for lots of reasons. The wonderful colour and effect of the reflection at the top, the movement at the end of the rod that gives life to the photo, a perfect capture of the pose and excellent composition. Very good indeed.

Brrr... just reading this makes me cold ! Good fun sport and dedicated indeed. Great capture and composition.
