Fishing at The Bay

Fishing at The Bay
I had uploaded this previously, I'm now moving it forward in my photo stream as it belongs with the "Stranger portrait 04:100" of Vicki which I have just uploaded.

I wandered down the foreshore at the Bay and eventually I found myself on one of the jetties, where I met some people enjoying an evening's fishing. One of them was Steven who promptly caught a flathead. After chatting to him for a while, I asked about taking his portrait. I had proposed to add it to a F****r portrait group, but found on my return home that the photo failed to meet that group's rules (because he still is a minor, his Dad also needed to be in the shot - and although approval was obtained, that wasn't considered adequate ). I added the shot to my photo stream regardless and, in any case, we're now on a different site.

Thanks anyway Steven, and I hope you caught more fish after I left.

Brilliant portrait.!!!

I just find it both ridiculous and sad. The young man is SEVENTEEN... HIS permission should have been the only needed.

Yes.. I know all about "in todays world" ... I also know COMMON SENSE DIED sometime and I missed the damned funeral !

Pam, I couldn't agree more. The problem was with the rules set by the group admins and, I guess, they were busy protecting themselves. I think the crazy trend to litigation damages is the underlying problem, making it prudent to avoid even the slightest opening for any claims. Which might explain it, but doesn't make the rule sensible.

pleased you posted this one ... he is young and without a doubt
looks a determined young man ;-) you captured him well oOo

Nice portrait, George, and I agree with the other on the stupidity of the rules.
