Not bad.. not bad at all..the only thing I would have done here would be to walk to the next point...to eliminate the 2 points of land to only one..the one with the fisherman.

That would have achieve 2 things, getting closer to my subject of interest and getting that extra piece of land jutting out...out of the way so that only one finger of land points to the fisherman as the subject of interest.

I know I am sounding hyper-critical today, but I think , when shooting people especially you really need to try to work out the compositional elements in your minds eye first and keep shooting until the image "makes sense " visually..I know in many occasions we have to make snap decisions and don't have the luxury of time.

Thanks for sharing
