Hello John,
This is a good action shot of a fisherman at work. I like how you gave more room to the waves than the man, showing how small he is than the sea both literally and metaphorically. Informative note too.
Regards,
Erdem

Fantastic shot! The lone figure out on the edge of the ocean would be good by itself, but when you add in that great wave splash then it really makes this special. This really presents the idea of "extreme fishing" very well, making the fisherman appear to be on the edge of disaster!

Hello John! I love the spray coming up adding adventure and action to your photo. He seems to fight out there against all sorts of things. I rather watch but I can understand the fever. Take care ... Barbara.

Those are major waves John, excellent timing and kudos for the brave fisherman, I want to decrease the brightness a little, and prefer a thinner frame.

Hello John,

What a nice moment, the waves care for a wonderful view, the man is absolutely a daredevil between the waves.
Interesting note too. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi John. Another very effective active sporting shot. I like the way your frame matches the colours within so well. Murray.

Hi John!
Seems he's trying to challenge the sea! Good composition, we can almost feel the strenght of the waves. Well captured!

John, your title says it all. That is really extreme. I wonder what sort of fish comes out of these turbulent waters. The extreme off center placement of the fisherman is perfect and just that would be a good shot, but with the additional gigantic splash this achieves a complete different dimension. I think that Tan got some valuable points in his critique.
Best Regards, Peter

Hi John. We have the same deal here in NZ with many fishermen drowned rock fishing and many lost while fishing from boats also. Excellent photo. You have excellent balance in the composition and great timing also. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Nice one! Good exposure, with excellent detail in the white water spray. And of course very well timed. You must have staked out this location for a while waiting for the right moment and patience paid off. Nice colors, with the white waves against the pastel blue sky.
Regards,
Rob.

Hello John,

You have a good series of Australian fishermen, with 'Fishing on the edge' and 'Sunset Fishermen' also accompanying this shot. Up on Fraser Island, an annual fishing competition sees many thousands of fishermen (and a few fisherwomen also!) line the beach, braving some big swell like this also. Your choice of tight cropping at the bottom makes the power of the waves seem more significant. The blue tinged frame is very well created and presented.

Hi John,
Quite hard to believe that it is possible to fish something in these conditions. But your image is quite spectacular and testifies about this dangerous sport.
Just a regret, the framing is a bit too generous and thus not bring a + to the final result.
Regards,
Eric /.
