He looks like he's angry at the ocean and is going to beat it! Love the tone.
comment by Arthur at 09:03 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Love this one and yesterday’s: have you got more to come in this vein...?
comment byJM° at 09:36 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
I'm sure he 's gonna catch a whale (or a pinguin ;-)
Nice one, looks like the beginning of a vintage b&w movie..
comment by Jacob at 10:44 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
It doesn't really apply to this picture. But, how do you ask people for permission to photograph them? Or do you just take the picture?
comment by photoburner at 11:41 PM (GMT) on 18 December, 2006
Interesting but the foreground doesn't connect to the fisherman to me, might be better with a lot of the bottom cropped off. I know it's hard to get rid of that nice water relection tho.

Looks like it could be a movie poster.

sara: you forgot to say whether you thought that was a good thing or a bad thing ;-)
Arthur: I have a few more, that aren't entirely dissimilar.
Jacob: if the person is going to be recognisable, and if possible, I do ask.
photoburner: maybe, but I'm not all that keen on substantial cropping.
comment byDave Carrington at 01:34 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Maybe too much foreground? Too much blur in the reflection, perchance?
comment byRobert at 03:24 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Makes me feel like taking a quiet walk on the beach.
comment bySteve at 03:36 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
I love the color of this.
comment bygypsy at 05:45 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Crop it.
comment byToxic Lens at 07:40 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
I like it too. I think I might like it even more in a 2x1 crop (just the top half), but the lightplay on the water at the bottom is worthwhile too... Oh, looks like I'm not the first to say this :)
comment byP.J. at 08:03 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
I like the color of the shot and the water is so peaceful. I think you captured a great moment.
comment by sara at 08:39 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
it's a good thing of course! it's like a dream =)
comment by sara at 08:42 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
btw, was it your intention?
comment byriesenriel at 08:54 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Excellent tones in this beautiful action shot. Captured right on time.
comment byMark at 09:09 AM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Lovely tones and the action tells a story
comment by Jennifer at 12:10 PM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Dont think it needs a crop - composition works beautifully. Like the tone, and love the movement in JR Hartley's tackle!
comment byRob Woolf at 05:53 PM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
The Fisherman has an enormous right foot..............which is nice
comment by Sharla at 06:26 PM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
This shot doesn't strike my senses as do many c h r o m a s i a shots. What I still appreciate about the shot is its warmth and expansiveness. I fail completely to understand the suggestions of a tighter crop. I believe the affect would be lost interest rather than tightened. Contrast a simple sillouette to man in nature. This capture is the more complex and artful presentation.
comment bydjn1 at 07:06 PM (GMT) on 19 December, 2006
Thanks everyone.
sara: no, it wasn't intentional.
As for the crop: yes, it would have worked that way, but I also like this version.
comment by Roger at 07:40 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
I think it's a great shot David. The tone really adds to the overall picture and I think the crop is perfect.
comment bynavin at 07:50 AM (GMT) on 20 December, 2006
Very nice composition
