He might not be Hemmingway's old man and he doesn't even have a Santiago, but there he is and that's the backwaters of the Bay of Bengal behind him. Some focus colouring. Was tempted to blur but resisted! :)

mmmm - i think your focus color is interesting... I like the expression you caught here.

This is a great shot. It certainly does have a Hemingway feel to it. Especially with the expression on his face.

I love the effect that you used on this picture.....really cool and it made more of an impact than if the picture was in full colour.

As always excellent pictures and graphic captions. Wish you would add detail of where it was clicked. Then it becomes a complete album :-)

Beautiful, excellent photo. The "fisherman" seems too clean to be Hemingway's Old Man, but it does give the feel of experience and knowledge.
22 Sep 2007 10:01am
Like the focus on the man. Strong composition.
22 Sep 2007 10:12am
you made the right decision on this one Shutterbug--no blurring gives the shot a great d.o.f.--great composition--billy

Your selective coloring makes this pic for me!
22 Sep 2007 7:57pm

I'm glad you didn't blur it- the image is awesome as is - I like your focal black and white too.

wow love the compisition

Reminds me of a 70-year old man I once met in a marine who used to sail on his own on the North Sea in his 7-meter sailing boat. Old men have something with the sea... By the way, this man doesn't seem that old to me, maybe it's because my own age :-). Picture evokes reflection, like the picture of the little girl... what would he think?
