I took this one on my holiday back in October. I'd like to hear some opinions. This man is one of my Dad's mates. He goes to the beach every sunset, for an hour or two. Chucks some bait out in the waves. ost of the time he knows he isn't going to catch anything. But that isn't what it's really about. Anyone who is close to serious fishermen, will know what I mean.

(I also took it because i'd never seen a 5ft tall man using an 11 1/2ft rod before)

    I really like it. Love the colors....nice fishing phrase. One thing I think for the next tims is to not put the fisherman smack dab in the middle.

    I agree about the fisherman being too central. It still is very pleasing to look at and a great title for the scene.

    Thankyou for the input guys. And yes of course...rule of thirds, rule of thirds...I was worried about him getting lost in the frame though. But thankyou:D

    Very nice.
    Maybe you should change the title to "One Man, One Beach, One Rod, No Fish, Who Cares?"
    I too find it very relaxing to fish, whether I catch or not.
