I saw it and liked it in the other thread. (Lula needs a "like" button perhaps).
Good light, composition and balance, I can feel the warm sun and cool spray.

I've seen it on other forums and I think it has a place but I also think the written word is still the leading contender for the critique.

Like the light.
Hope there was some calm clear water in there.

I like the image and shade the compliments above, but critique-wise, I'd say: too centred, too busy and too harsh. I don't feel contemplative as I would expect to feel fishing like this. Also, due to the high angle, I feel like an observer from the roadside rather than a participant. Suggestion: try using a slower shutter speed to catch the movement of the water, but not too slow to blur the angler.
