high-noon fishing

nice capture

Great work! Best regards, Ilkka

This is truly magical. Magnificent effect and the composition in gray scale. Compact when viewed in large. Like it. All the best. Warm regards.

Eye-catching photo, Feeling of silhouette.

Wonderful image, Lester...a real treat to my eyes...brilliant composition...excellent tonality...ambiance, details and the impact are awesome...my best

Very beautiful scene, Lester ... enhanced by B&W tones. I like it very much ... Regards.

Superb B & W image with great range of grey tones. I really like the silhouettes of the fishermen with the shimmering water behind them.

Very well done Lester!

Best Regards

What a beautiful image Lester!

Lester, I agree with everyone that this is a great image with it's beautiful tones and light. I particularly like the silhouette's of the men  and the lines of the pole and the net. 

great shot... wonder how its been done?

TO ALL MY FRIENDS: Azure, Ilkka, Kaushik, Museeb, Kallol, Ricardo, Alf, Pedro, Tony and Luis,

Thank you all for your inspiring comments. I appreciate them greatly.

Luis, attached is the original nef file (reduced). What I did was to meter the highlights in the water which read as 1/2000 sec ISO 200 using the 75-200 Leica R Vario-Elmar mounted on my D300. I guess my opening was f5.6 not deep enough but gave a good effect on the mountain. So everything darker than the highlights particularly the fishermen got under-exposed giving an almost silhouette effect. Thanks for your interest.

Simply well composed, interesting angle and light. Just beautiful. Best regards, Linh Dinh

Linh, any comment coming from you is an honor. Thanks! - Lester

Very nice the initial scene and your pp result. Compliments Lester!

El, am trying my best to do more b&w. Thanks again for dropping by. - Lester

Lester, I think B&W was a great choice for this photo, and the exposure is right on.  Nicely done.

Without hesitation I do prefer the BW version, the atmosphere outcrops strongly with a silent delicate feeling. Extraordinary. To my Favorite Folder.
