Great Image!
 
Very nice.........the fog adds a nice touch of drama to the shot!!! Right place at the right time......=)
 
Stunning - everything works here!
 
Thanks! I have several versions of this, the color one is good too, has a yellow orange glow, and another without the other boat in the background.

Thanks mishele! "Right place at the right time" isn't really accurate for this particular shot. I spend weeks during the oyster season studying the light, weather conditions, habits of the fisherman, etc. to get myself into position to get some of these shots. I took advantage of the foggy day and got some shots from a special spot where I have taken many photos before.
 
This is fantastic! I absolutely love it! Did you have time to frame it, or was it a "moment" thing?

Btw, the frame you've added really works, imo! :thumbsup:
 
I always consider the best compliment is when someone states they would love to have one of my pieces in their home. Something you can appreciate on a wall every time you are in your dwelling. That being said, I would hang this in my home!
 
Mesoam, thanks man! That is the ultimate compliment.

Compaq, I had plenty of time, the boats were going in and out, I have probably 50 shots of this "scene", but this one was my favorite. I will try to post some others, the color was unreal, a golden glow.

I will correct myself.....:hug:: This is an amazingly thought out shot!! The patience involved in this shot is beyond my comprehension..........lol:sexywink:
Great shot....I love it!!!
 
Oh yeah, see... now this... this... is ****ing awesome. This is the kinda stuff I wish I saw on here more often. You made my day.

The composition is awesome, the humanity of it is awesome, the detached nature of it, the mystery. I'm trying to figure out what they're doing, I'm wondering why there is a little boat near the big one, I'm thinking "oh god the guys on the little boat are gonna die at sea and the big boat is gonna live"... so so so much here.

SO much.

Print this, frame it, hang it, sell it.

Thanks for sharing this.
 
Very nice! Reminds me of the days spent tonging with my dad in Pass Christian.
