Beating the heat Photo

Photographer’s Note

I came acoss this fisherman and his friend in the Alanya harbor late one summer afternoon. The gentleman on the right suddenly lay back to wet his hair in the water and then came upright again with a laugh.

hello Ryno, this is a most wonderful picture. The lights reflected by the crystal water, the details of the boat, and the good catch of the moment.
I feel it a bit over exposed but not sure what the water would be like if you reduced the exposure.

This is a nice one today Ryno, well composed and very sharp and clear. It does make me want to swim though

Hi, Ryno!
You, have photoed a very nice everyday event of those fishermen. I like the color and the transparency of the sea water. I do not like that this man smokes in this beautifull surrounding (a joke, of course)

Very nice capture, Ryno! I like fishing and I can't resist to look at all nice sharp details on this picture. It's an amazing shot! The net, the sun, the shadow, the pretty clear waters, the incredible crazy boat overcrowded by many stuff, and, of course...that man relaxing and smoking! I really enjoy to see this picture!
It deserves many points! So nice...
Congrats!

Nice candid moment you captured what impressed me lot is the wavy moment of water surrounding your subject

Hi Ryno,
A nice subject, from the daily life but with an humourous dimension due to the relaxed attitude of the lying guy, we feel on the top of the boat the light is hard but you managed exposure very well here, only think that bothers me a bit is the framing I find it too tight and I would have preferred to see a wider view of it.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Lovely colours on the water. Interesting boat. It looks so relaxed. I see we share the same occupation and country of origin. I think I can give up my job and be a fisherman. Especially if this is how they work. Great photo.

Thanks for the critique on the boats in Hout Bay

Hi Ryno,
Good timing on this capture. I like the composition, the man really into his work and the other with his gesture. Good colors and composition,
