Photographer’s Note

Every time I look this picture I admire the peacefulness, calmness and tranquillity of those fishermen. An ideal daily life without stresses and worries.

Yes, very relaxing, and makes me want to go fishing ;) The boats could be a little sharper though. The composition and clouds are very good. Well done.

Hey Sifis,
Great shot! The 1/3rds composition is excellent here, you have used the cloud layer nicely. The boat provdes extra interest, and i really like the light reflection on the water. well done

Another wonderfully mysteriuous and paradoxal picture, Sifis. Very nice contrast between the sea and sky hues. The fishermen in their small boats with outboard engines are only silhouettes, the broken up reflections of the sun are like snowflakes in summer. Very well seen & done!

At first I thought you should have zoom a little bit more, in second thoght I find this compostion very good, first showing how small the fishermen are in the big sea, second I think the big cloud, the reflactions on the water - all together great impression.

Good shoot!

so beautiful, sifis!
all those horizontal lines, the many tones of blue and those reflections of the sun. i can hear the silence.

Dear Sifis, I have a problem here, I almost see no fishermen... I know what you were trying to do, but it doesn't work for me here. Without the 2 boats in the background it probably would have worked for me too. Hope you understand. Yours, Jan

As being in the same condition as you were in when you captured that image i do can understand your houghts and feelings.

A very good image as for the Greek fishermen is a small tribute to all the perils they face out there.
