    4Labs,

    It's a nice pic, but it's hard to see the oystermen. Maybe a tighter crop on the boat, the nice red building in the BG and the birds might help a bit. You were fighting that misty/flat sky, which IMO doesn't add alot to the shot. So tightening the crop wouldn't hurt you there.

    Please take my comments with a grain of salt. I pretty much suck at composition and I always have a tough time cropping pics like this one. Hopefully, one of the more talented members will respond and point ya in the right direction :)

    Thanks for sharing,

    I apreciate your comments. I am without any artistic backround and don't own a camera that long so all your advice is welcome.

    Just change the name, so we don't expect to see the men, call it the .................... boat.

    I don't think a tight crop would be a good idea, the men are small, etc. Most times like that you have to use a very long lens, have the men in the right place, etc.

    But there is nothing wrong with changing the name, it is a nice photo of the boat and surroundings.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
