Taken off the coast of Washington. Canon XSi Tamaron 28-300mm lens,
1/500 @ F.9, ISO 100 @ 200mm. Was attempting to show the vast water the fisherman in his small boat was on.

I understand the concept but this isn't working for me, too much seaweed and other stuff in the water, this doesn't isolate the fisherman enough for me to meet the "concept".

I thought I was looking at a small lump of seaweed on the beach at first, so seeing that fisherman really surprised me to show the actual scale of this scene. Had it not been for your title/description, I don't know if I would have noticed him at all. Given that the fisherman is so small, and that there's so much other junk floating around, I think you'd have to display this very large to get the full effect that you were aiming for.

Kenn, the more I look at this on the monitor the more I have come to realize this does need to be much larger. The seal on the rock in the foreground and the heron on the rocks near the boat hardly show up. Thanks for your comment.
