    I like #1 the best, the second one looks too busy and takes the focus away from the fisherman and waiting. I wonder if you could get in closer, or from a different angle, to make the photo a little more interesting and convey "waiting" better. (Like a fisherman kicking back having a beer or something -- I don't know!). I do like the picture...just trying to be helpful and see if you could make it better! -Kate

    Antonio....
    I really like the 1st shot with one exception....I can't really see a fishing line...I guess he is fishing without the use of a pole (rod) and just using a heavy cord? I would like to see more that implies fishing...but that is just my 'umble opinon and i hope I wasn't too strong.

    Arthur,
    You have not been strong at all. I have been strong. :D
    You are right because he is not fishing with pole by using a light cord and we can't see it.

    I'll try something different.
    Thank you. You did very well criticizing the picture.

    #1 for me as well. The second shot has too much going to to really focus on the guy actually waiting. good work!

    These aren't the ones...I know you'll find the right one....too much movement in both photos...1st one has lots of water movement (waves) distracting from the feel of waiting. The fisherman is leaning.....if you did not fish would you know that he is waiting or just looking at the water? 2nd one has a boat in motion...not waiting but going somewhere.
