Waiting for the bite

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Waiting for the bite

Just returned from an overnight fishing session 60kms offshore from the Sunshine Coast.. . the fishing wasnt exceptional.. but got a feed and Oneputt managed to get a fish for his dinner plate tonight! .. took the camera.. but didnt take many photos.. 3 this morning, this was with the 10-20.. in extremely trying conditions.. the sun wasnt up yet, it was still 45mins away from rising, so i grabbed this shot of one of the fellas onboard the boat waiting for the fish to bite....

Image

Not as sharp as id like, hand held in a rocking boat.. think i was shooting around 1/4

Comments welcome

Lovely concept and perspective Tim I think you are right this photo lacks the necessary crispness in the silhouette to do the image justice, and I know that would have been difficult in a rocking boat in fading light.. The horizon at least needs attention :wink:
cheers

This captures the setting and the anticipation well, the sky has some terrific color and texture.

The wonky horizon's worth straightening, wondering if some agressive sharpening using a fairly large radius might help sharpen up the silohette outline? Might need to fix up any halo's though... Would also clone out what-ever it is that's encroaching on your top left corner too...

Nothing like catching you own dinner, YUM!
