No Fish Today Photo

Photographer’s Note

A scenery by seaside where people come and fish as a hobby. Unfortunately the sea was a bit rough. So fishing from the beach is not going to be "fishful" and less exciting. May these people have to hire a small boat to fish the fun out of the sea.

Hi Foozi,
Where I live that sea is as smooth as a mill pond.
Lovely shot, I like the way you have captured the patience of the fishermen. Very pretty light, good composition and POV. As usual from you, a very nice shot.
cheers
Peter

Hi Foozi,
the afternoon light was really pleasant to give you this nice result. The few spots of sunlight on the beach are very nice and I like the way you set up this composition with the two men on either sides of the image, the one on the right also making a nice contrast with his yellow clothing. Very nice!

Take care
Mark

Hi Foozi,

Nice shot. The 2 guys each one in one extreme of the framing. The sand placed in diagonal along th frame works very well. Nice light as well, maybe the compo would be even more balanced with more sand and less sky...

Regards,

Flavia

hi Foozi

Taking good advantage of evening light for this beach scene on a fine day is what most of us will love to do, as you have done here.

My comments on technical are

-half of sky, water+land, so you may perhaps think of rule of third in composition to see if it helps with more dynamic view

-slight tile of horizon which is no big deal and can be easily fixed by software

Even so, a nice post of nicely exposed shot.

tfs, bill

Hi Foozi,
Ignoring the slight tilt this is perfect. Natural colors ... the colors on the sandy beach of Terenggannu are just right with late afternoon light shining through the shade. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Foozi,
A nice capture with the evening light, yet you managed to get good exposure on the FG beach in pleasant warm colour. The white waves break the monotomy of the sea and that is good.

The tilted horizon is noticeable and should be rotated and re-cropped, but that may get the two persons pretty close to the framing depending on your original photo size.

Regards
Alfred

I can imagine the light was cool and beautiful... Minimalist beach atmosphere, but it works...

Hello Foozi,

Man is so small and ocean so huge and still they wonder why they don't get any fish..!
An interesting scene, nicely captured and the guy to the left has given up, hehehe...
Good light management and fine details!
