Wow, those are all absolutely fantastic. Were they from the same shoot?? If so, I am even more humbled...
I love the composition of the first, with the wavy net line running diagonally to meet the fisherman, converging with the horizon line, right at his hands. You really got it together!
They each have impact, and the treatment is sympathetic.
I would like the figure in #1 to be closer so I could get more of a feeling of person rather than thing with the net.
I would like to see #2 as a more normal wide, with less earth horizon curvature. The tones and textures (the real subject?), and POV, are marvelous, but the curve dominates and detracts from them. The figure too could be more peripheral for the same reason.
I think #3 is too static, too lacking energy and dynamism to make the obvious young male muscle power (the real subject?) meaningful and therefore the image believable.
The bum in our face in #4 is a comical element which I doubt you want. I see no good reason for the extreme treatment of this image, eg black sky.
The images have good potential - good shooting! But could do with more contemplation, especially about the real subject of each, for them to be really satisfying.
