Hi Brian, nice work! BW works great here.

[SniperD]

good use of rule of thirds... though the JPEG compression quite high but the shot's good.. composition, sil attributes.. only 2 nits:

1) copyright a little distracting
2) can crop a little off the top; the white spot in the center top is alittle too white for this classic shot

Thanks much for taking the time to look & comment, guys.

I know, but a few months back my (copyright-less) "Hawaii Coconut Girls" pic was dl off ClubSnap and reposted in a bunch of different forums elsewhere...many of which took a more "horny leering" approach to the photo. I kinda took that as a personal attack and an attack against the friendly Polynesian girls in the photo. It took a sustained email campaign to get the images removed from the other forums. Until that event, I regarded those who visably copyrighted images as being "self-important" and liking too see their name in print. Now my opinion is different.

Yeah...this was shot in the morning and the sun was just off the water. I'm probably going to head to the National Art Museum this weekend and make a print. I'll be sure to burn that area in a little. I also wantto dodge the fisherman's face, too.

Again, thanks much!
