The presence of a single fisherman brings a sense of scale to this image. He stands alone in the fast moving river, encircled entirely by rocks that echo the precarious nature of his perch – a context that implies potential risk and danger. I shot this scene several times in order to catch the arm of the fisherman in a forward position, repeating the lean of the huge rock that hangs just behind him. Many photographers would want to have the entire scene illuminated by sunlight. However, I prefer the half-light I am offered here. The opposite side of the river, though rocky, appears warm and welcoming. But the fisherman remains in the shadows, doggedly making cast after cast from his rock.
