Find this to be an interesting image. Like the different approach of the different fishermen.

The subject is the huron and it lacks sharpness. The yellow of the fisherman grabs the attention and contains little of interest.

Composition wise, too much is occurring in the vertical center section - believe that the image would have worked better if the bird was offset to in front of the boat.

    Thank you! I had three images and all were central. I do understand.

For me this image has been let down by its composition. It is too central. For the contest it fills the requirements with rain splashing the water and the fisherman in their capes.

Well looks great has the mood and shows good camera skills,might have a bit of extra space around it but that takes nothing away from this shot well done

I like the reflection of the fishermen in the water and the rain drops in the water. Great his color with great detail. Very nicely done!

A great entry. Its so unusual. Its not often that we see rainy day pictures. It is even more unique to see three fisher man, one heron and two humans who apparently do not mind the rain. I admire the crisp capture of the bird and the raindrops on the water on a background softened by just the right DOF and the rain. The colors are exquisite wile natural looking. Best luck for the contest.

How ironic the bird in nothing but its feathers the men in every thing but. Totally understand your wish to post this great shot a very fine composition.

Wonderful photograph, and a great capture of the rain falling on the water. Great color and lighting with super detail. The heron is probably the one that doesn't mind the rain.

Comment from Bill Adelman


Nice photo of an elegant bird, alert and waiting to strike for a fish dinner. It's too bad the background is so blurry. I would have used a wider depth of field.

    Thank you so very much! The focus is on the heron. I wanted the background blurred.
Comment from davealpert


Good idea. The composition can use some adjustment. I would suggest that the men in the boat are too close to the top border of the image. The heron and it's reflection are nicely done.
