Hey! Those fishermen have now become the focus of the image. I really like what you have done. Well done |

That is a stunning image. I love the beams from the blue and yellow lights and the inclusion of that object in the top left hand corner to balance the whole scene. I don't know what that is, but it is irrelevant as to what it is. It is there and it works |

Hi Piers. It is a great image. The horizon sits nicely one third of the way down from the top of the image. I am with Dan, an odd number of fishermen is better. I have cloned out the fourth fisherman leaving you with only three. And I have cropped just a little from the left hand side, so that the foreshore tapers away neatly out of the image.
I am always attracted to "bright shiny things" so I would brighten up the sunset by increasing the vibrance and saturation of the sky. This added brightness then gives you an excuse to paint some of the yellow colour from the sunset over the grass and bushes behind the fisherman to brighten that area up too.
I don't know how much manipulation you want to do, but you could try lowering the horizon using photoshop cut and paste thereby removing a whole lot of water from the centre of the image and making the fishermen more of the subject. Just a thought! |

I know China is a crowed place, but nine people on a one wheeled cycle is ridiculous. How clever is that!
You did well to get such a sharp image of a moving target under such clandestine conditions.
I like the cropping and the fact they are headed towards the empty space on the right hand side of the image.
It is a lovely bright action shot taken under difficult conditions. Well done. |

I have always been intrigued by these split log fences in the USA. It is a mystery to me how they keep determined creature in or out.
The fence in the foreground introduces the viewer to the fact that the image is made up of horizontal layers. Firstly the fence then a layer of white in the cotton and further through the midground where there are layers of brown, then yellow followed by the green of the trees and the blue/white layer of the sky.
I would like to have seen a tree or something running up through the image into the sky layer, tying all the layers together. Or maybe moving slightly and taking the photo at 45 degrees to the angle you have taken this image, across the corner of the fence, so that there are a couple of leading lines made by the fence into the image rather than the barrier it becomes when viewed front on. |

I love this image. I like the radiating arms of the parasol guiding the viewer's eye to the centre of the image. The parasol being a symbol in Buddhism for protection against illness and harmful energies, which is appropriate for a bride to be. Then there is a ring of "clutter" in the pattern on the dress and the jewellery on the head and hair, which by contrast leaves that simple, beautiful face as the focal point of the image. I really like it. |

Hi Brenda,
This is a great action shot. You caught the exact moment of the header. I am not a fan of the "round ball game" and so I don't really understand it, but when I see your original there is a story of David and Goliath to be told. The tall invincible fellow and the two smaller ones closing in on him. I would include the other two lads who are participating in this piece of action. An odd number, like three, is always good in an image. |
