Ah yes fly fishing in the fall, the time to capture the fisherman capturing the fish. 

This image has a very strong horizontal graphic element of the river and both sides of the bank.  I like the fact that you captured the near side of the river to give us some perspective of the width of the water which adds scale. 

There are a couple of graphic issues that you need to keep in mind.  First the background is very busy and brightly lit.  This caused the fishing pole and line to disappear in some areas as they cross the background.  For these small details you need a dark background with light on the line and pole.  I would like to see this as a stronger graphic elament.  It is difficult to find just the right combination unless you have a setup shot with a cooperative model.  

Another suggestion I would make is to pan the camera to the right so the disturbance in the water where the line enters could be seen.  This would also move the fisherman to the left which could be of some value to the graph layout.  Also it might have been possible to capture the fisherman in a position where his arm is not covering his face.

Nice nature action shot but needs some work on the composition
