Jus Fish'in With My Dad - (View Larger)

An extremely sunny evening in August of 2008, the air was still, and I

just felt the need for 'speed'. Well in my small world, a drive in the

country in my little Tiberon, shifting a few gears, the wind in my

hair....man was I living dangerously!! :-} I found myself at a little harbour,

Newcastle by name, and to my delight a little 4 year old was fishing

with her Dad. She was so amicable and chatty. Dad took her fishing

every evening he could. (This really touched me, not all Dad's would be

so attentive). I enjoyed a few hours with them and some other folk who

had made this their 'regular' evening destination. The bright sun was

shining right in her face, and perhaps I should have used my flash as it

was difficult for me to edit, but I finally figured it was time to post.

Worthy, because of what a serene and pleasant time I had enjoyed.

(Thanks for viewing, Gail)

Very cute.  As you know, the Mrs. does scrapbooking, and I'm sure she'd be delighted with your layout, especially the little fish in the left bottom corner. 

What a nice portrait the lighting is just right the back gound bur allows for focus on the subject ... the post process work and insert creates a nice momento of the outtting.  You continue to keep a postive spin on all your work and a nice flare to show the good things that we all experience... Nice shot and fun to keep connnected with you through your images... MJ

Very intersting work! I like it, regards.

Is a very clear and well seen this potrait,he looks very satified about what he did,my best regards.

Great snap shot in the basis of this more complex work, with great lighting!

Cheers Gail!

This little one was a charmer, and so cute.  Happy to hear you enjoyed the image.  Warm regards, Gail

So good to hear you enjoyed this image, I truly appreciate your visit and remarks, warm and sincer regards, Gail

They weren't allowed to keep the fish.....it was a Catfish, but she certainly enjoyed her time with her Daddy every evening.  many thanks for your visit and kind remarks, Gail

Thankyou for your very kind critique, truly appreciate your visit, Gail

Bella foto,bel ricordo !:-))

Deep appreciation for your visit, most sincerely, Gail

Great shot Gail. The enthusiasm of the fishing expedition & the joy of capturing the fish are quite evident in her eyes & expression. Take care.

Thankyou so much for that thoughtful critique.  I enjoy hearing your feedback, and it is most encouraging.  My deepest thanks, Gail

Grazie Tanto Paul, siete unbuon amico, Apprezzo molto..........Gail

I'm not sure the inset photo of the fish really adds anything to the photo, but the story you posted with this image is absolutely delightful and warms the heart. A well needed reminder of what really matters in this crazy messed up world.

Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story, the fish I added probably more for personal reasons. She was so proud of her Dad for catching this fish, and it flopped about the dock so much she giggled with delight. I probably should have added that.

Thankyou for your visit and comments, I do appreciate them so much.

Kindest regards, gail

Gail, congratulations on this one for being selected as one of the photos in the Fathers' Day Editors Pick.
