This came up first in voting for me...surreal? I don't know. Definitely wierd, though, & the lighting is odd. Wierd, & odd.

The Loyal Fisherman

The light is beautiful.

It's your highest score so far.

Your camera focused on the lotus blossom, perhaps because it's the brightest spot.

Some landscape photographers would've taken up to 10 exposures (the fisherman would've had to've held quite still for a few minutes) so they could do focus-stacking so that every single little detail would be in sharp focus. And then probably used HDR on it to make things equally bright.

I like your shot better the way it is, but I am not a landscape photographer. You might try bracketing your shots just to find out how it looks with different exposures, like the f2.0 you used, also f5.6, also f8. see what happens to the ISO, see what happens to the noise. see what happens to the contrast. I often do that & it's very informative & interesting.

The thing that I don't much like about your shot is it's not clear what you were looking for. Were you after the light? the fisherman? the lotus blossoms? the reflecting water?

Keep on clickin', it's the best thing. And fun.

I don't know what to make of this strange subject. But I like it that the top half is symmetrical with itself, but not with the bottom.

this is inspired! so much of a difference between what I think I'm going to see when I click on the thumbnail, & what I see when I do. I keep doing it, just for the fun.
