Trying some chromogenic film from Konica.

A very rough and blustery day on the bay last month. This fisherman called it a day and was walking back to his truck.

I really like this photo. I don't think it would have quite as much impact in B&W.

 

The businessman in the blue suit with his briefcase in the upper right corner really adds to the contrast between the "haves" and the "haves-not". Was his inclusion intentional? When I view this image my eyes keep moving back between the child and the businessman. This positioning and the contrast in their socio-economic class also helps to invoke a little more emotion on the part of the viewer.

 

Can't decide if the businessman being in better focus would help the shot.

Thanks. Sometimes I overlook the obvious.

I like this as I'm especially fond of long night exposures. I have to agree with Jean that it is a little too symmetrical and would suggest that you crop the top of the frame to just above the smoke plume but leave the bottom alone.

If anyone wants to learn more about this ship there is quite a bit of info at www.gazela.org
