Olympus E-5, 12-60mm @ 52mm, handheld
f6.3, 1/320, ISO200

North Fork Chena River, September 2012. Oskar catches his first Arctic Grayling. Likely not his last.

Full frame, slight adjustments to Highlights. Serious jpeg compression with some artifacts.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Hi Jim,

Oskar seems to be in deep thought about his successful capture of the elusive grayling. A nice comp of a memorable scene. Well done.........................Jim

Jim, I love this first fish shot.  The water has wonderful fall color reflections and Oskar indeed seems to be thinking it all over.

Jim, this is nicely focused on the people and the action.  The reflections in the river are a fine addition.  Congrats on creating another fly fisherman as they play a major role is preserving pristine streams.
