Awesome landscape. Your captures are out of the world and take one to a dreamland. This is a realistic, perfectly colored, and skillfully executed piece. Bravo!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Visually balanced soft silhouettes in a zigzag pattern.
You're not aware of it--are you?!? ;-)
This is a difficult genre if ever there's a contest for it...

Well, the compositional elements are synergistic in effect--the sum is more aesthetic than the parts!
I hope I said it right! ;-))

Dramatic story telling image.
Cinematic presentation...
Looks like a still pic from an Asian flick...
Gorgeous golden glow to its dying stage...

Vanishing viewpoint.
Diminishing perspective.
Good perspective & long depth of field...


Thanks for sharing...

Trying to decide if this can be improved Steve,and the only observation I can make is just to take a tad of the sky in this,other than that a pretty good shot,don,t even mind the guy being central in this,its a nice silhouette and a really nice subdued color,well taken photo...Brian

    Thanks Brian. Yes I think you are right. A bit from the top and right certainly would tighten up the scene. I appreciate your thoughts my friend ~ Steve

Comment from Mr Jones


really a lovely picture. excellent photo and a grand composition. the boat and figure in the foreground offer such a lovely perspective across the still water. the colours across the whole frame are rich and warming.

Comment from nikman


A very nice and serene dusk shot posed here. Not sure though what "preparing the catch" means as I know very little about fishing?! Your fine composition captures a beautiful moment in your lovely location. Well taken!

    Thanks Nik. I will change the narrative to 'Cleaning the days catch'. Thanks for pointing that out ~ Steve

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Steve,
A beautiful & atmospheric sunset picture the dying sun's & the colours it as tinted the sky is reflected on the water in front of the Fisherman in silhouetted as he prepares his catch still in the boat he has dragged onto the bank. The Fisherman & his boat & the lake framed by the mountains in silhouette & the tree on the right. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Malmax


This is really so naturally appealing with this gorgeous apricot sky and beautiful evening sunset. The fisherman gives a unique interest and the silhouettes frame this one so well. The colors in this really are beautiful, soft and warm.
Excellent depth and wonderful perspective FS!
Truly a beautiful evening to see.

Cool,Steve!
Your shot of this dude gutting the fish that he's caught as the day comes to an end makes for a pleasantly interesting and very enjoyable picture!
Truly a 'Good Show',my friend! : )
