Old Man and the Sea Montage

Hi. Please comment on my version of Ernest Hemingway's Old Man and the

Sea. Thanks!

Excellent collage! It can be memorable post card...

Only needs some more cloning in order to remove the blue around the hand, otherwise interesting concept and well done image!

Thank you for the comments.

Peter, very nice image.  Very creative.

Great idea, Peter.  Well done.

Peter,  This is a remarkable job of post processing - very well done indeed.   The following are just random thoughts.  

It has been a long time since I read Hemmingway's book, but my memory is of a smaller boat, one that would not require such a ship's wheel.

It occurs to me that with your subject looking to picture right that he is making the viewer look out of the picture and possibly not return.  If the subject were looking toward picture left, his line of sight would traverse much of the space, and the viewer's eyes would follow.  There used to be an old composition rule that went something like "give the eyes the longer space to look through."

His body goes over the picture frame on the right.  I know that such things have been done to create the sensation that the person is outside the picture but interacting with it, but is that what you want here?

Regards,

Jerry

Very nice work. Great composition and lighting. Very good processing. Congrats.
