This is a wonderful and accurate portrayal of the foggy weather there. (I am familiar with this beach)
I agree with John Kuo regarding the seagull. Perfect. That really makes the picture work.

Superb timing also in regards to the body position of the fisherman and the position of the bird.
Thanks for the enjoyable photo.

P.S. As I was writing this I couldn't resist seeing what it would look like with a little bit more contrast. I opened it in photoshop and applied unsharp mask @
amount: 14%
radius: 50 pixels
threshold: 0 levels
I think this punches it up a small amount yet preserves the foggy mood. What do you think?

In any case, the photo is wonderful. It has a very "old" appearance. It looks as if it could have been taken in the 1930s.

Good work!
