I really like "boat" pictures and this is a good one. There is plenty of action with the man and the waves. Perhaps consider cropping some off the top (the sky is bland) and the bottom. Also, your gradient has darkened the bow rather too much. Nonetheless, a great shot. Regards, TW

Hello Paramantapa

Very interesting moment in daily life, i just feel this is a great photo for that simple reason.
It shows us how things are done in different parts of the world and though it might look exotic or even strange to some of us, this is just how everyday life might start in this or other parts of the world.
The B&W wok great here but I am curious to how the real colours were as well. Detail is rich and I find the focus to be ok.
The dark background sky facinates me though. Was this how dark the sky was or did you apply some sort of filter?
Thank you for sharing.

Hello Paramantapa,

Hi Param, that boat looks too big for that man and will pull him into the sea anytime. I like your choice of BW, good sharpness. Thanks for sharing...Alex

a classic shot, to be precise. the sky just looks a little dark, was it a storm on the horizon?
