A River Runs Through.....Yellowstone

 


Last fall, on our last full day in Yellowstone, we drove early in the morning from the West Yellowstone to stay overnight at the Lodge next to Old Faithful. Driving in to the park along the Madison river, we saw this fisherman doing his thing and stopped to take a shot. This picture was just awarded the "Creative Winter" award from ViewBug, a photo contest site. Usually awards come with cash prizes, but apparently, not this one. Not sure what the "winter" thing means in the "Creative Winter" title but I like this shot anyway and nice of them to pick this shot out from the hundreds and hundreds they get every day. I gave this shot a black and white filter to bring out the contrast between the man and the river. I don't know anything about fly fishing but that looks like good form. Thanks to ViewBug for the award and I will wait with bated breath (get that?) for the cash prize.
