Chesapeake Bay - 5:37 AM

One hand on the work boat's canopy, the other on the wheel, eyes on

his crab line.

Great character shot. I love the light only catching the front of his face although imho I think the grainy effect is too much. The effect has created a halo-like outline that I would rather avoid. I hope you do not mind my saying so.

the light, the composition , the rendering , in short , everything about the shot is great my friend , very nicely done , congrats.

Love this semi silhoutte and light on the face, William!

 

Thanks for your kind visit and support!

 

Warm regards,

Thanks Sonia, BC, Rakesh. Don't mind your critique at all Sonia. In fact I welcome constructive comments and I agree with yours.What I attracted me to this photo was the light on his face, but I had to crop in a lot to focus on it which accounts for the noisy background of water and skyline. I tried reducing the noise in just the background, but that came out a little quirky. Then I reprocessed it to get rid of the background altogether and have posted it in my Recent work folder. I don't know whether I like it or not, probably too close to it. But I would like to get your feedback on it. Thanks again, Bill.

Nice light on the face. I like noice too, it gives "taste" on this photo.

Regards, Nebojsa.
