Fishing boat and birds

[themeron]

Hello all!

The photograph was coming to me slowly, with a fully amateur career, until I decided to photograph my tanks…
So I ended up selling all tank setup to buy photographic equipment!
I started with film and then digital.
The studies began self-taught form with an introductory course with my good friend Marcelo Motozono, which was important for my training.
Hence I went into social photography, but always as a second profession, which eventually reduced my total dedication to the art.
After I changed my town, I stopped working professionally, even as a second profession, and I'm now returning to the hobbyist path!
My first DSLR camera was a Sony Alpha 200, then a Nikon D90, D300s, D5100 and D700. After that I sold the D700, I bought a Sony HX-300 and now once again I bought another D90. Finally I bought a Nikon D7200! I have AF lens: 18~55mm, 55~300mm, 40mm, 70~200mm, 50mm and non-AF lens: 50mm, 105mm, 135mm (all Nikkor). I like to photograph all subjects, but I have preference for portraits and street.

Thanks for all!

Welcome Rubem I like the image , it seems to be agood candidate for a B&W conversion.

Hello Rubem, welcome to CiC. Great image, and I agree with Binnur that it could work in black and white as well.

I'm not sure how you feel about changing the composition in post, but I would be tempted to move the bird at the top of the image down a little, and possibly find another one to move up there too. This would give the image a wonderful balance. Of course I understand if you don't like manipulating images in this way.

Welcome To CIC, Rubem. This is a nicely composed image with the boat placed according to rule of thirds and moving into frame. Very clear subject and no confusing elements. My only possible suggestion is to offset the horizon so it doesn't appear in mid-frame. In this case slightly lower which would also move subject farther into lower third and increase negative space above. But nicely done as is.
