They didn't look like the stereotype but I liked these two fishermen. The location is Hertzlia Marina, 12 km north of Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is seen in the distance.

PP included partial desaturation of the orange jacket, and gaussian blur of the water area, which I found too sharp after compression of the raw.

--------------------------------

With this shot I wrap up the Genesis series. I read that a series shouldn't contain more than 6-7 shots, after all even God retired after just 6 days of work.

So here we have omnipresent light (created on the first day), sky and waters (created on the second day), dry ground (created on the third day), at sunset time (created on the fourth day), fishermen fishing fish (created on the fifth day), man-made elements (buldings and ship) filling the earth (as commanded on the sixth day), all this shot just before the beginning of the seventh day (biblical days begin at sunset time).

--------------------------------

In the WORKSHOP - a complementary shot, in different angle.

Hi Daniel,
good shot, looking relaxed and the background with the yellow sky and the city is good.
thanks and regards, Gerrit

this is one of those images which perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the place and the moment; tinal range makes this a tranquil photo, so well fitting the mood of the fishermen;
nnice work,
have a nice day, j.

Hi Daniel,
Caught well the moment of concentration of this fisherman and his companion in the heat of work. The sea and the sky are spectacular, with a very pretty detail and colors, and the image has a great depth.
They fished something?
Good photo.
Have a nice weekend.

This it is a summary of the previous ones, but most probably after many years after the World has been created : we have sky, sea (which a ship on it), ground (with buildings), sunset time (not artificial, luckily), fish (to be fished) and man made elements like that orange jacket or these curious trousers !

But to be positive, there is still everything which is supposed to have been created in the first 6 days.

By the way, I like you positionning of the two fishermen.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Daniel
You've got gold of a sky here...the dresses of the fisherman does heighten the contrast. the complimentary shot is equally good

Hi Daniel,
Good contrasts due to the clothes they wear. And that sunset lighting is beautiful. The atmosphere you've captured is the best thing in this shot, like it lots. Nicely done.
Have a nice weekend:)

- Beautiful sunset, the ambience of an angling party between mates is present here, colour is hot and nice and well controlled light, bravo! Shabbat shalom.
