The darkness of the waves and sky really frame the fisherman. I've spent a long time looking at this one. Intriguing.

Good use of movement. I struggled to even see the man at first. Perhaps having him appear in front of the communion table would have been better??

This is one of the 3 i have given full marks to. The B&W processing is excellent and the motion blur really brings this image to life.

The details are amazing, John. Missed the "conductor" the first time around. Don't they have to re-sanctify it now...?

Perched on high above the ocean waves,
early morning chill these men brave.
Time and tide marks the hours.
They patiently fish from their wooden towers.

This is an absolutely wonderful capture of a slice of life of another culture!!! I love the fishing action of these men that range from sitting, casting the rod, and standing. Wonderful details and the B&W is excellently done; tones are very dynamic. Photo is akin to something I could see in National Geographic magazine...I just love learning new things and seeing new places.

Rich in human interest. The bird in flight top right is a nice inclusion.

Was this setup or by chance? Either way, a cool effect.

Wow! Great shot. Why do I have the feeling I'm about to be tackled and licked to death. :)
