Lovely landscape.
I like the snowcapped granite mountains in the background; the rolling brown hills in the foreground make a nice contrast. The sloping edge of the rear brown hill bisects the frame, for a nice effect.
Too bad the water's brown. It would have been nice if it were blue or grey, but the colour it is now means that it doesn't really stand out from the hills. I know you can't change the water's colour; you have to live with it, but it's still too bad. At least those trees or bushes delineate the water's edge from the hills; that's a nice touch, and the green is a welcome bit of colour at the bottom of the frame.
Unfortunately, I don't think much about the man fishing. Had you not told me, I'd have no way of knowing what he's doing. Looks to me like he's rowing the boat. The boat's brown, he's dark - they're lost against the water and the hills, I'm afraid.
So, for me it's a nice landscape. The boat and the man and what he's doing seem inconsequential.
Not a bad photo, but sadly it seems a bit of a lost opportunity, as it could have been much more with the right colours, IMHO.
sorry, frank

During those bad days at work, this is where I want to be. And I don't even fish.
