Very interesting image. I think a tighter crop to remove some of the left and the bottom of the image would have added a little more impact to this.

I wish there was more detail of the fishermen - looks overprocessed

This is an interesting shot. But must have been shot at quite a distance as the men do not appear sharp to me.

This picture looks kind of "muddy", nothing seems to be quite sharp (camera shake perhaps?).

i would have placed the fishers more towards the lleft of the shot to give the feeling of open waters.

this image has so much of interest...the people who look to be floating on a slab of rock out in the water, the angles and lines the rods produce, the crispness of the water, and the beautiful blue sky. I llike the composition here. Very well done.

I think a slightly closer crop would improve this, but as it is it still makes a really good photo. Nice work :)

A little to the right.......

very good as is but for me, would have a much larger impact, if you juxtaposed the smallness of the group of men against the vastness of the sea - move them to the corner and extend the top and right. I know - that's not the image I have in front of me but just a thought for a future image. good luck in the challenge!
