This kind of high kontrast/silhuette is pictures that I nearly almost like. Some of my favorite shots are silhuettes. I really like the idea behind this shot as well, thought there are some small adjustments that I would have done. #1. - I would have liked it a tad better if you didn't crop out parts of the pole (word?). #2. - The white area behind his ear is somehow a distraction to me. Maybe its only me, but I would have edited that to being all black in PS. You did a great job anyway. It's very artsy, and would fit excellent on a fishermans wall.
That's what I am thinking, too: the entire fishing rod, maybe even including the line would have helped. But apart from this, I really like your photo here.
The first comment here is what I think, white spot by the ear annoys me, and I would love to see the whole pole. Other than that, great shot!
