Lovely shot. I really like the silhouette of the fisherman and his placement in the scene. The line created by the fishing rod kind of draws you in as well. Just beautiful.

To beat this the first place photo must have been a whopper!

A story behind the picture... well, nothing special. I took it during a short walk along the north bank of the river (it is one of the nicest parts of the town, at sunset / dusk). Fortunately, I was bringing the tripod (and camera...)with me, found the guy and.... voilá!
Later, I submitted it to a contest and...

Love the story of your town Douro is the perfect name for the river.
