Hello Ike,
it's great to watch a skillful person doing what they know best. Their movements have a fascinating elegance and rhythm. You've captured these in all three of your photos with exquisite clarity and management of the strong morning light. The colours are brilliant and this fisherman an unforgettable figure. I like all three photos. Well done and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely week,
Ourania

Hello Ike,

Like this daily life shot where the fisherman is fixing this net. I like the way he is keeping the cigarette in his mouth and at the same time using his fingers skilfully. The colors , sharpness and light are excellent.

Hi Ike,

The fishing net is helping to frame the scene. The point of view is showing the action of the old fisherman. The morning light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,

Oh, I'm so cross, I wrote a really long critique and somehow lost the whole lot as I was updating it. Dam!!
Anyway, here goes again!

I fine shot with so much to see and so much to learn. The fisherman is very well positioned in the frame, with his vivid red seat as an added attraction. You have controlled the light well for there are many pale colours in this strong sunlight.
Although I like all the shots, I do have a slight favourite, the latter one in your w/s from a slightly different angle. Here, it is so easy to engage with the fisherman and the nets make a fine lead into the rest of the shot.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

delpeoples (44888) 2012-04-23 3:08

Hi Ike!

A beautiful photo that I think a beautiful tribute to these workers who are working every day by hand, so hard work always deserves to be recognized ...

The composition, definition, and colors are really good, and the two WS. In my opinion you got a great use of light in a place where the strong light conditions are not ideal for photography ...

Congratulations ...

Manu
