Fisherman

I was unsure about where to post this. I guess some people consider fishing a sport.

It fits here. A nice image. I find it a bit too dark overall however. maybe a bit of brightening would help...?

Thanks for the comments. When I have a look at it in the full light of day, I think it could be brighter also. I sometimes get stuck with a preconception about photos. I took the shot just before sunset. As I remembered the situation, the boat and fisherman were the only part of the scene in direct light. As a result I processed it darker than it should be. Perhaps this is better:

I like the way you caught the line and the fisherman's arm in mid-throw. Nice job.

Not just fishing, fly fishing! Great capture.

Great timing on that shot. The second shot / edit looks better on my monitor.

Great shot!!!!

I like your original because it has a more dramatic lighting. I made a mask for the fisherman and boat and lightened slightly with Curves, then inversed selection and added a bit of contrast...

Thanks, people. I appreciate the comments. It did take several attempts to catch the line fully extended.
