[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When people go ice fishing you will often find them looking down the hole to see if there is any action below the ice.

The peeping tom is my neighbour's son Alex who for years has supplied us with fresh fish in the winter.
Being a tall fellow who loves to play pranks, I thought it befitting that he should have his feet sticking out of the frame.

I have another shot showing part of the set up of ice fishing that I will send at another time.

Dear Dot,

funny shot! I love the white of the ice contasting with the orenge colors.

Best regards,
Romeu

He is so tall that his feet did not fit into the frame. LOL. A very creative choice for this Friday´s theme. I am always learning something, and now about ice fishing. I am enjoying this photo a lot. Very original and funny. TFS

hi dot.

this is nice. in my opinion well composed with the feet sticking out of the frame. minimalist with humor.

roald

Absolutely wonderful Dot,

This really is a looking down picture. At first I did not recognise it in the thumbnail - I thought someone was kneeling down in dispair - that because there is no ice-fishing here ^-^.
It's a perfect picture, very attractive and fitting frame work.

Hello Dot,

A fine composition, and the action is well captured!
I know that many are fascinated by ice fishing, but I'm not one of them as I prefer summer to do my angling...
Nice pike though, did you eat this?

Greetings,
Pablo -

WOW! An incredibly different post! Not everyone could make this shot! Love the fish addition here! Love how you did the framing! Excellent funny shot, I'm impressed with this one!

J'aime cette interprétation du thème, point, il est unique et merveilleux. Les pieds hors de l'armature est une bonne idée et le détail que vous avez ici avec tous que la glace blanche de neige est très impressionnante. Bravo.

Hello Dot,
This is so perfect for the Friday theme. You have captured the essence of ice fishing to a tee, the presence of fish with its mouth wide open adds 'ooomph' factor. A very wholesome image, one of your many best. Best regards, Danilo

Ha Ha,First prize if there were one Dot,this really brought
forth a chuckle as well as a smile,my warped sense of humour thought of a huge fish just passing by as he was peering into the hole & it gabbed on to him catching him & pulling him under:)Tit for Tat sort of thing.

Good cropping and composition with the feet outside the frame.
A perfect shot for the theme.I guess you were quite pleased when the title came up?

Bonjour Dot
Très originale cette photo et une composition parfaite compte tenu de la présence de ce poisson dans le décor. Attitude parfaite, une jolie touche de couleur vive et un encadrement tout à fait humoristique. Très belle contribution au thème de la semaine.

Hello Dot,

A great shot which fits the theme perfectly.
It is humorous and you have a laugh at your neighbour's expense. The feet sticking out were the perfect feature to make this shot really stand out. (please forgive the pun!)

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Dot, Perfect for the theme!
Puzzling for a moment but then your note explained his actions and made me smile! Your framing also adds to the story. Well done and TFS.
Regards, Pat.

Hi, Dot -
Outstanding "looking down" shot showing an unusual but interesting activity. Great idea to have his feet sticking out of the frame. The fish in the lower right is a nice visual touch. Well done.

lol... that's just so funny to called him peeping tom...:P bet he is peeping what the fishes is doing. Excellent captured Dot, love the "cought in the act" moment. Nice details, contrast and colours, well compose!


Have a nice day,
Cheers,
Sweety

Oh, what a gem, Dot. In NZ we have sheepdogs called eye dogs. They can move flocks of sheep without barking. Now I've seen an 'Eye Fisherman'...does he stare the fish into submission? ;) Well done, I like this one.
Pete.

Nicely composed shot. I do like his feet sticking out of the frame, that's a great idea!
It sure looks cold there, totally opposite of the weather here, which will feel like over 100 degrees (F) today!
