My apologies to all fisherman, but this image succinctly summarizes my view of fishing.....boring. Even this woman finds the activity (or inactivity) so ho-hum that she falls asleep while just waiting for something/anything to happen.

I love the way the woman becomes part of the bridge here, and the way you have positioned her in your frame. With all the rocks below her, you express the nature of fishing as a dream. My own interpretation of this scene was entirely different, since I included another fisherman in my frame. I appreciated your assessment of it as a "duel" (http://www.pbase.com/image/103637080 ) It is amazing how easy it is for photographers to tell different stories about the same subjects through just a shift of the frame and finding different moments in time.
