 The crab season is very late this year because of algae blooms that are poison to humans. Finally, the 'coast was clear' and the pots ready to be placed. I was incredibly lucky to be at the wharf when these pots were being readied for the sea.

Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the free challenge

There is some interesting detail in the pots and ropes and the handling of them and together with the colours which are very vibrant it makes for an interesting image. What I think lets the image down is that it feels too tightly cropped, although its not essential to see the missing details it does not make for an appealing crop in its own right. The image as a whole feels very cluttered with all the elements competing for each other including the background which would be better in softer focus. Amongst all this the dayglo emblem on the mans hat on the left is so vivid that it too grabs your attention in a detrimental way.

Thanks for your entry Alice
