Line Whisper

A lone figure stands in shallow water near the shore, silhouetted in black and white as they cast a fishing line into the calm expanse. A tree trunk anchors the left side of the frame, and a bush softens the foreground on the right. The water stretches into the distance, smooth and reflective—early morning light, I think, though I was too focused on not tripping over roots to check the time (with me this is a serious concern).

 

I spotted them mid-cast, perfectly framed by nature’s own composition. They had the kind of quiet focus that made me feel like I was interrupting a sacred ritual… with a camera. I crouched, adjusted, and took the shot just as the line landed, like a whisper across the water. It wasn’t about the fish—it was about the mood. The hush. The way solitude sometimes wears waders and doesn’t care who’s watching.
