Fisherman with dog

Fantastic!  A man, his dog, going fishing;  ahhh, a perfect day...  Mike

Near the laguna of Cagliari at dawn I saw this fisherman walking in

the beach with his dog in a nice silhouette. Thanks for your comments

O è il cane ad essere con il pescatore? Grande come sempre, amico mio!

This would be a fine photo even without out the color manipulation. But the color tone adds something extra to the feeling. Great shot!

I love silhuets and this one is one of the best I ever seen. Beautiful photo and great story.

splendida silhouette  Giangiorgio, complimenti!

bellissima

Beautiful play of silhouettes against the vibrant sunset tones ...!!!

 

This is outstanding image. The colors and silhouette and the whole idea is wonderful.

An impressive result, Giangiorgio!

 

Great presentation with fascinating contrast! Warm regards.

Top class!

I think, the appropriate title would be "Fishing in a sea of fire". Very nice exposure, execution and timing. However I wouldn't go further and interpret any deeper philosophy, because there is none. This image makes one feel good, since it triggers happy memories, and gives a sense of serenity and calm.

Supriyo, to me there is little or no sense of calm to be derived from the image. The black area in the foreground along with the silhouetted man and dog dominates the frame, with the dog's left hind leg having a rather grotesque appearance. I might have had a slight chance of serenity if I were looking at cool colors, preferably shades of blue, rather than the orange and yellow. Aside from this, unfortunately I have no memories of going fishing with my dog as company.

Michael,
I was referring to the serene time of the day (dawn) reflected in the warm colors of the sky and the sea. Walking by the seaside, I have often encountered this scene, a man and his dog with a fishing rod. probably thats why I found this familiar. I admit, I like the warmth of the colors here. I agree with you about the grotesque angle of the man's leg. Following the leg, it ends up in the dog's leg where the man's leg is supposed to be. Considering the actual position of the leg, the man's rear leg looks longer than it should be.

Thanks for clarifying, Supriyo.

I agree with Supriyo regarding the evocative nature of this image. I, too, have pleasant memories of scenes very much like this, and associate it with good times and places. The overlap of the dog's and man's legs is awkward, particularly in this silhouette view. The simplicity of the image, sharp, black silhouette over fiery sky and water, makes it graphically powerful, but limits its subtler interpretations. There just isn't a lot more to work with. Given that this is from Giangiorgio, we also must consider that this could be a highly (and skillfully) manipulated composite, and whether or not this adds or subtracts from the potential meaning. You could even play a color replacement game in PP to see how different backgrounds/colors (per Michael) might change the mood, without changing the silhouette at all.

Great light, and a simple, direct, image with easily recognized silhouettes. Nice bokeh. I have never been fishing with a dog as a companion either, but I can appreciate the shot nevertheless.

Cute, technically competent, but with as much spirit as having a coke and a poutine in front of the Battistero in Florence and not visiting the interior. Where have all the photographers gone? Where is emotion or mystery or compositions that intrigue? Giangiorgio has done better than this.
