Angara River Photo

Photographer’s Note

A lone fisherman, at left, casting his line over a sunken shipwreck. Taken from the bridge leading to Irkutsk Railway Station. The Angara River flows out of Lake Baikal.

From Wikipedia:

"The Angara River (Russian: Ангара́) is a 1779 km (1105 miles) long river in Irkutsk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Krai, south-east Siberia, Russia. It is the only river flowing out of Lake Baikal, and is a headwater of the Yenisei River."

Hi Chris,
Good vertical shot with this pov, a nice blue with this large foreground ... but the border of the river is a little clear on the top of your shot.

Hello Chris,
What strikes me is... a railway station is not what I'd expect to find next to this scenery!!
Amazing water colour, a simple but effective diagonal composition...

Olá Chris, superb POV with some vertigo feeling and most attractive color on the water surface. The fisherman sure makes a great deal in this image. That seems like a sinked boat...
Have a nice weekend,
ricardo

Bonjour Chris,
Magnifique transparence de l'eau de cette rivière, belle diagonale de l'arrière plan verdoyant qui donne une bonne pronfondeur de champ. ce pecheur donne une animation photo.
Très bonne netteté, bon choix de POV.
Bon dimanche,
Amitiés,
Rosa.

Hi Chris!

Beautiful "aereal" view. The colours of the river are wonderful, the framing and the composition are great, but it wouldn't be the same without the excellent "detail" of the tiny fisherman. Congratulations!

Hi Dhris
A good high POV(Bridge?) on this turquoise color water with vertical framing giving lots of depth up to the forest... Nice colors and sharpness... Another option is to crop the top,to avoid the bit of white sky, and the down part, to avoid the dark corner on the left side...
I made a small WS to explain better what i mean.. but this is just a minor adjustment! Hope you don't mind!
