Fishermen

Welcome to peek into my "Landscape" folder.

Thank you for comments.

Wow!!!.What a sight to behold. Thanks for sharing.

Moon looks too unnatural.

Hey, I think this shot has a great potential. I would recommend the following:

1) Blur the moon, it doesnt make sence having the moon as sharp as it is.

2) Te reflection on the water is too bright, you should soften/burn it a little...

I think that with the proper adjustments this can be a killer shot.

I have played with the moon myself, take a look at this picture: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3233666

here the moon was blured a little and put behind a redish cloud. If you could manage to put your moon behind something (like behind the trees), it turns out to be much more beleivable. Just my 2 cents

i'd lose the moon and crop some off the left for a square composition. love the mist coming off the water and the golden hue of the whole image.

Thank you for your 2 cents :))

Perhaps you are right (I've followed your link).

But dimming or blurring the moon would need to burn water splotches accordingly to get total realism and the whole fairy tale dies then :)) Let it stay as is. Perhaps next time - I'll remember your advice and do better.

You know, I've tried a square composition as the right half overweights the left one with details. But....somehow...left it this way.

Agry with Abascal.

Great shot, Basil. Excellent tone.

 

Regards..

I think i would forget the moon too...

great athmosphere...is the moon pasted or this is a single shot?

Pasted of course :)) The moon was shot the same morning 2 hours before the one with the fishermen.

insuperable!!

WOW... there's a great atmosphere here... "overnatural" mood. Perhaps moon and light on reflect does not go perfectly well together but be sure that the effect you wanted to get is well tought.

oh, what a beautifulllllllllllll atmosphere and I love this Moon! oh, excellent!

If the moon is pasted then it's not real photography!

It's some thing a two yr old could do!

It's a fake! and lazy!

i like what youve done and even though it may not be "real photography" i doubt a 2yr old could do it.

I love the shot, but I would lose the moon.

Well, I can tell you what becomes worse in your cropping version.

1) the dark mass becomes overweighting in the "darks-lights" balance.

2) the boat track is too short and the boat is too close to the bottom of the pic

3) the center of communication - is not the moon, but the front boat with fishermen (I'm not talking of the 3ds composition rule :) that gets broken then)

 

At least, thanks for trying to enhance the pic. Each person has his own unique view. If you had been in my place then - perhaps we could see a more interesting result. Who knows.

i LOVE the moon in this shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

An incredible photograph! Superbly done!

i wouldnt change a thing about it.

 

i like it!

Excellent image!
