Fishing in the Late Afternoon


I went for one of my walks along the harbor this afternoon, and the first thing I saw at the bottom of the hill was this view of the harbor with this beautiful sky. And then the frosting on the cake was this fisherman out in the water.  I spent some time composing this, and tried zooming in closer to the fisherman, because he is kind of hard to see in this image.  But I realized pretty quickly that the real subject of this photograph was the sky.  So it doesn't matter that you can't see the fisherman as well.  Please click on the image to see it in greater detail.  It's a beauty!

The sky is beautiful but I love the golden grasses in the foreground. It makes everything pop.

I totally agree with Joan on this - the marsh grass makes the pic!

What! Your brother is wrong? What? :-) You are right, the marsh grasses are really important as well. I moved back and forth along the sidewalk to get the best composition - which means, where I positioned the fisherman in relation to the grasses. Thanks for your comments, as always!
