Fishing At Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

Young child fishing at Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota.

The lake is named for the famous Shoshone/Hidatsa woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition up the Missouri River in 1805. It is the third largest man-made lake in the United States.

Unfortunately, an 8-year drought is bringing the water levels in this beautiful lake to record lows.

The scan of the original slide was quite flat and rather brownish (I'm definitely changing labs). I have attempted to restore the original colors with PShop, but I just can't quite get there... Hope it looks OK on your monitor.

Hello John,

J'aime bien cette image avec la douce lumière qui vient éclairer le visage de l'enfant, un oeil qui brille mais une expression magré tout un peu triste... Avec la mer légèrement flou ! Une jolie atmosphère uqi se dégage.

Regards,
Stéphanie.

This is a really nice shot. The soft light is just enough to light the child's features and also create a silhouette at the same time. Perfect timing!
