C&C Please.

I put this shot in the B&W forum but now realize I should have put it here. Anyway, what do you all think of this B&W conversion? Thanks!

Conversion is OK but on the dull low-key side.
Image itself does nothing for me. The subject is in the middle, his activity is undefined. No drama or tension.

I'd love to see you crop just to the right of the guy. He's way too centered.

Since he is facing right, any cropping should be on the left hand side. (One of the many areas covered in composition.)

I see what looks like an interesting horizon....I'd like to see more of it.

The rocks that the man are standing on look interesting too!!

I agree that the man needs to be just left of centre.

I also see a fishing pole.

I wonder if you had waited until he was about to cast, and gotten a little lower to the ground, if that would have done the trick!??
