Nice one. Faces are a bit dark and may have been better in black and white? Still good entry.

A little fill flash would have given you a MUCH higher overall score. I like it, but - not a lot of detail in those faces...

beautiful colors, nice exposure and composition. Only one thing bothers me and I know it couldnt be helped. But that bit of string over his face is distracting.

Great shot for the local paper! I would score the next step up if there was just a little more punch of colors and less shadows, and that the line streaking down the man's face is distracting to the overall quality.

Cool picture...a couple thoughts, it is a candid but if it was really to be a print in a newspaper I might have had the guy with the pole hold the fishing line so that it didn't come across his face and I my have repositioned the older gentleman so the pole was not in front of his face. I might have also cropped a bit from the left. Good clear picture though.

Not a good crop for a news paper - nothing happening on the left side - better to crop it out.

Would've tried to get the pic without the fishing pole intruding the mans face. Also could've used a fill flash.

Too bad about the fishing line across his face, and the dark shadows. I would also have asked the man at the back to move aside - his dark shadows detract (in my humble opinion) from the image. Good title and shot concept though.

I want to see the whole fish

Fill in flash might have made the shaddows in their faces less dominant. Got shot.

Great shot - if your horizon was straighter, this would be perfect. - 9 -

Good photo. Good headline. Well done. (his line is distracting on his face, but what can you do?)
