    Very nice, good selection for B & W, the cranes grab your attention and draw your eyes to the people in the fore ground. Excellent Work. :thumbsup:

    Re: What's the Catch?

    Good to see you are still around Yoyo and I too always look forward to your work.
    I'm quite attracted to this shot. It seems like the cranes are competing with the fisherman for the biggest catch.
    I think it is slightly tilted to the right and I wish there were a little more space above the right crane, which straigtening would make even worse.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: What's the Catch?

    Good to see you, Yoyo. I like this much. The cranes almost look like they are fishing in the water with the people, as Frog noted. I also like the high contrast b&w here.
    Good stuff!

    Nice! The composition, exposure, tonal range, the subtle DOF and all the subjects in front add nicely to overall image. Great choice for a B&W.

    Hi Dray, Thanks for the comment.

    Hi W, Thanks for the analysis; I am glad that you like the shot.

    Hi J, Thanks a lot for your kindness.

    Hi Frog, Thanks for the helpful comments. I thought the oblique lines could creat some dynamism; but you point out my worry.

    Hi Gary, I am glad that you like the shot. I am flattered that it is selected as the sticky.

    Hi Brian, Thanks for the comment.

    Hi Bob, Thanks for the analysis; I am happy that you like the photo.

    Hi Tom, Thanks. I should say it was a great catch for me to capture the moment.
