Hello Gunnar,
Good shot of the photographer. Beautiful catch of the triumphing fisherman! Everyone triumphs one day or the other in its passion and its field of predilection. A beautiful foreground, and superb and luminous remote landscape. Cheer.
Have a nice day.
Cordially.

Gunnar,
This is a nice portrait of this lucky fisherman! Your composition is great placing the fisherman to one side with his catch providing balance. The lighting and colors are fine as is the photos sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

hello Gunnar,
a well caught moment! I like the curve of the mackerel and its silvery colours contrasting with the bright yellow of the fisherman's polo shirt.
regards,
Bev

Guten Abend Gunnar!
Der Fisch wird nur halb so viel Freude wie der Angler haben ... ;-) Ein irgendwie mitreißendes Foto, das die das Glücksgefühl dieses Angler gut "rüberbringt". Und dann noch dieses gelbe Hemd ... Klasse!
Grüße aus dem (tagsüber) noch immer hochsommerlichen Siegen!

Hello, Gunnar.

What a happy fellow and what a fine fish too!

The sunlight is very strong here and I thought the shadows a little too dark. However, I tried playing around with this image and trying to lighten the shadows a little, but I could not manage to achieve anything in any way better than the original. So, well done! - it's fine as it is!

Kind Regards,

John.

It looks like you have been spotted! Excellent almost-action shot. At least the fish still struggles on the line as we can see the motion blur on its tail. No wondre he's pleased; it's a lot bigger than the mackerel we get round here!

btw I have finally put a map link on my heather post - I know you like to look at the maps.

Hi Gunnar, have you also tried fishing? quite a big mackerel. I know only from the shop, but they are smaller. Nice yellow shirt and red:) cap.

Who'd not give a high five after a catch like that and at the prospective of being clicked with it. nice moment shot!

Interesting daily life report photo. Fine gesture of a fisherman.

Hello Gunnar,

A fine shot.
I particularly like the light and shadows on the fisherman's shirt and the strong composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

holmertz (10149) 2009-09-01 2:11

Hej Gunnar,
The man looks happy and the fish looks good, the yellow shirt brightens the picture. The strong shades have made the man's face a bit dark. It would have been nice to see something more aesthetic on the right side, but cropping it would damage the balance of the composition, so I won't suggest it.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hej Gunnar,
although now I am not a fan of fishing and don't approve of fishing "for fun" (not for surviving), my opinion about fishing does not relate to this photo, of course :)
VERY good capture! I like the moment. Though the lighting conditions seem to be rather difficult, you managed it :)
And the bright yellow colour of the t-shirt as signals to us: this is great!
bästa hälsningar,
Elena

TopGeo (22509) 2009-09-02 3:34

Hi Gunnar! The fish that plays the fisherman with the yellow shirt and the raised hands they give a intense composition perhaps cheerful! Good idea for sharing
ciao

Hello gunnar. Communication. One sees the pride of the man. A altogether beautiful and alive photo. The colors yellow and blue complement each other in the best way. Best regards, Wolfgang.

danyy (69963) 2009-09-14 23:15

Bonjour Gunnar,
une photo bien sympathique, avec du mouvement, ce poisson, on le devine, ne se laisse pas faire, mal à l'aise hors de l'eau.
Des couleurs vives mais un ciel trop exposé.
My bes regards.
Daniel.
