I had to go digging a bit to find this, and that is disappointing.
I aspire to be able to capture a moment like this - it belongs in a beautiful frame, in a gallery.

I had this for a ribbon! AN OUTRAGE! Great work non-the-less.

Might have been better if you'd left out most of the foreground and gone for a more panoramic crop.

Excellent shot!!
The leading line of the rocks, drawing my eyes up to the fisherman is perfect.
Bumping up and adding to my favorites - this moves my soul.

Picture perfect...

nice work. this really goes to show how much an impact just having one small person in the photo makes. without the angler, i really would have a hard time connecting with the image. imagine, something that simple...

The sea and sky is gorgeous! It looks like a painting! I like the inclusion of the fisherman but would have prefered the rocks in the foreground to be sharp. I still enjoy looking at the scene.

Great combination of a lot of elements into a lovely cohesive whole.

I think a tighter crop removing some of those out of focus dark rocks in the foreground could make this good shot great. Lovely capture.

Nice. Is the water really that green?

That's one brave soul! What a great moment to be there. Had to look a while to find him, too. Great processing. I might have highlighted him just a little, though.

Great perspective and composition. Congratulations!

very nice could use some more focus though

I like the photo, but it looks likes the man is fishing, before an approaching storm. Otherwise, I could not figure out why he would be fishing in a storm. Approaching storm maybe a better title.

good, colors are good, composition is also ok

Strong photography - well balanced, great light, and with some human interest. For real pretty photography, I suspect people would like more detail and light in the foreground - but I'm not sure I actually know what the public want ;-)

I love the wave and the shape of the fisherman...nice

Seems a bit soft in the foreground but it's quite a nice scene
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/13/2007 09:29:14 AM
nice. i think i would've cropped out the pole on the right and some of the bottom. theres too much darkness in btm right. i like the sea colors.

this works for me because of the detail in the water, the echoing hues and tones, the inclusion of the man (he's got something!) and the inclusion of the bird. All this wrapped up with the movement present make for a great image.

01/12/2007 03:41:16 PM
wow. this looks like the type of shot with more processing could be really dramatic
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yay! now reel that sucker in! :D
