Not a good fisherman

as he kept on going in the water but never came up with a fish

One of the reasons I am able to get these shots, is that I can balance my camera on the ledge of the hide. These wooden poles they fish from are only a few meters away.

Another reason is that I use topaz gigapixel to crop and enhance. (maybe this one is too cropped)

I don’t think it’s too cropped at all! It has given you some gorgeous Detail and clarity right down to those tiny little droplets of water

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He looks young- perhaps a little more learning and practice to do, but eventually he'll get it. Excellent shot and cropped just right!
