Great dramatic shot. The wave at the bottom is blown-out a little. This may have been better cropped out.

Energetic and turbulant with a sense of 'rush' and great use of light and sghadow to add instant interest to the figure fishing above. Bumping up.

Wow. People fish from that height. B/W was a perfect choice -8

Extreme Fishing. I didnt know you could catch fish on coasts like that. The compostion is great really shows the size of the cliff in comparsion to the fisherman. Just a little too flat on the black and white. (8)

Very nice shot... but fishing from way up there?

Very dramatic photo, first reaction is just WOW! I like the framing by the clouds and waves. I'd also love to know if he caught anything!

Cool! I like it!

WOW... now that would have to be a loooong line and crazy fish for swimmin' round there! Cool capture, I always love photos of waves crashing against rocks and the clouds in the background are just a nice added feature of interest. I imagine the use of b/w is due to the harsh lighting conditions, but I like it!

huge wow factor..
love how small he is..nice perspective..
12/01/2005 01:36:17 PM
wow. powerful... Was this man really fishing or is this staged cause its hard to believe if he did hook a fish how he could reel it all the way up... still great waves, cliffs and clouds.

great capture--good textures, tones and lighting

I like the movement and high contrast of this one. Having the single figure with the fishing rod really makes the shot. The shadow of the rocks might be a tad too much, but the overall composition and impact is still there.

6 - Good scene. Criticism; maybe the color would be better if you had it. Also, given the position of the 'fisherman', perhaps a sharper angle/perspective to complement the unusual position of 'him', may have also helped this in my opinion.

sweet!!

Great shoot, I like the clouds and the person adds alot of perspective, well done.
