I really like this in terms of a lifestyle image. The fisherman really look involved and stand out against the contrasty sky !

I like the separation you have between the subjects, the balance of 4 and 4, and the balance of seagulls above. The twist on the Hemingway title seems fitting.

I'm with David on all he said.

A great piece of work, IMO.

Terrific shot. Great mood and feel to it. Really well captured. The fisherman look great against that background. Don't know if it's possible but it seems like a little more room on the bottom would benefit the image.

I like the grouping of elements. The conditions could scarcely be better.

They don't look that old! It is perfect with no men overlapping the other and the different body language going on here. the two birds add interest to the big sky - great image! Darwin

Powerful Image, the power of the sea, is felt in this image.
