nice crisp shot

Lovely macro shot and I like its framing. I think leaving a space before the roads helps give add something extra than just a row of rods. Great job Jerry!

Liked the angle on this one and also a really neat macro shot!Good job Jerry!

beautiful shot

Great shot.

A very interesting subject (I like fishing) and nice perspective.

Very nice shot, I like it alot!

The lighting in teh shop is a little soft for this shot---which is not giving enough sharpness and contrast.

Love the perspective!

I think it's just fine the way it is! As been my experience with macro shots, if you are focusing close up on a subject the rest of the photo is going to be "soft" this is normal and as we can see one reel is in focus and is "sharp". In my opinion not every photo should be perfectly sharp and have perfect contrast that would be boring! Some photo's are made to have that "soft and mellow contrast" look. You did a fine job on this photo Jerry, very well done!

I like the repeating elements and use of depth of field. I think its sufficiently sharp, you can add some more contrast easily in any photo editing program. Great work!

Oh man those rods bring back memories of my fishing days. Great work I like the repetion shown in this photo.

I never like fishing at all!
I saw your previous photo.It seems you are realy good in photography.

I agree with SeventhRay! Its just great the way it is. If you had wanted a shot that was crisp and sharp all over - then you'd do it by using aperture priority and stop down the lens. Or, slow that 1/800 of a second shutter speed in Shutter priority. There's pelenty of contrast on the shot as it is without more brilliant lighting. The reels are lined up so precisely and you've captured them at a perfect angle. Great Shot!

I like this! The close up of the details looks fantastic!

Fantastic shot, Jerry. i like how you've captured this one.

focusing the reels on the bottom half of the frame adds some real weight to the photo.

Please remember that a photography is a two dimensional abstraction of the 3D reality that we are used to. The camera is an instrument to create that abstraction, that illusion. This photo is great just because of that out of focus second and third rod, it tells you were the camera looked in first place, is technically correct, and is a great rendering of tones and colors.

I gotta go fishing this year. Then again, I think I've said that for a couple of years. Nice work.

Jerry.. this is a superb shot as far as i am concerned. It is an angular approach defines the amount of lighting needed for this composition. Lighting is superb!

Nice shot jerry!
Hope you best weekend again!

I like the repetitive pattern... Maybe a little more saturation, but it's a matter of taste.

lovely golden tone to the image. very smooth and pleasant feel.

Another mysteriously great photo!

Interesting capture!

nice details

Nice shot, it has a nostalgic feel to it .

I love the close up. Nice composition.

Wow! Very nice shot!

Atmospheric with nice colours Very good !!

Ahh Jerry you must be one keen angler based on some of your pictures via this platform. I too enjoy offshore fishing especially while I was then stationing in SYD,AU - miss it tremendously.
