Fisherman's Yarn

I posted a similar image earlier this year. Am trying harder with this one and have given it a new sky and straightened up slightly (not completely) the background of the boat and quay by warping it. Just thought I'd mention that I didn't warp the man on the beach. He is that shape in the original. Come to think of it maybe I should find a better looking man to put in his place!

Absolutely one of the most fantastic "slice of life" shots I've seen -- ever! Wow...this is a magnificent winner if I ever saw one. Great editing too. Love the coils of rope in the foreground....just seems to "tie" (pun intended) the whole scene together. #977485William C. Raco August 11, 2008

I love this scene Kate .. it has all the elements to capture a slice of life rapidly disappearing .. great shot and I wish you luck with it :) #6464902Jean B. Hall October 15, 2008
Great shot! It reminds me of a painting I've seen somewhere of an "old salt." Great job. The composition's super, and the rope in the foreground adds a lot to the photo. #6604920Karolyn J. Seeley May 05, 2009
Kate, this is so well done, a fabulous capture and photoshop work. I am stunned this does not have an "editors pick" tag on it. It's lovely work. And, no don't change the man out for another.....it's a slice of life and wonderful the way it is. #7488901Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
