Thanks, Paul. I was actually walking with friends when I spied this guy way out in the bay, so didn't have a lot of time to set up the shot (as you can probably tell from the composition and quality of the original). |

Thanks, Mary Ann. I did try that crop but felt that including those tree tops in the top right with the sun coming up behind them gave a sense of balance to the image and put his situation in context. I know it is hard to see but he is actually fishing, not going anywhere, so felt "breaking" that "rule" in this case was not a problem. LOL |

Hi Chuck,
I prefer the BW version of this image. I like both your re-edit and James' tighter crop to eliminate some of the background busy-ness and help us focus in on the main subject, with its shadows and reflections. The light is very bright but seems to work for this scene. Nicely done!

Hi Cindy,
I completely agree about the hiightened drama in the BW. I actually prefer your crop as it includes more of the beautifully detailed surf, the clouds, and the walkway which leads the eye into the frame. A compelling image that really gives us a feeling of being there! |

Hi Karl,
Not to be too repetitive, but I also agree about the background. I think James' edit and crop works well. Yes - great find and capture! |

Hi Mary Ann,
I really like this image for its strong lines, repeating shapes and detail which I think all work better in BW. You have done a great job on wire removal - not an easy job, especially in this case. Well done! |

Hi James,
I actually like both versions of this image, but feel the BW elicits more of an emotional response and tells a stronger story. I, too, like your capture of the light coming in from the windows and through the door at the end of the hall ("tunnel"?). You have achieved nice detail (the peeling paint, the rusty metal bars), and made excellent use of leading lines and repeating shapes to create interest. Your camera angle makes me feel a bit like I am floating near the ceiling - it might be interesting to see how taking the shot from a lower angle impacts this. Nicely done! |

Hi Paul,
I prefer the BW version of this image. Great sharpness and detail, and nice tonal range. I get the story but find the large tree in the right foreground grabs my attention and makes it difficult for my eye to enter the frame. What would you think about cropping it out completely and making this a vertical crop? |
