LOL, I am amzed this broke 5.0... As I hinted above, this was shoehorned in at the last minute. The colors are ridiculously overdone, and I don't blame folks for thinking it looks silly. Since it was basic editing, there was nothing I could do about the white shirt and bag picking up the hue. The "haloing" around the tree/sky interface has nothing to do with burning or sharpening; obviously I didn't burn, it's basic editing rules. Sharpoening was minimal. There was some sort of weird synergy developing between hue/sat and selective color, and I didn't have time to figure it out before submitting.

i think the levels were a little too overdone for this image. The magenta bleeds into the man's shirt which i doubt really happens. The image in itself is done very well. The white plastic bag (?) just behind the fisherman is a little distracting against a saturated green. I suggest toning the levels down and this image would be perfect.

Comment by pitsaman:
Red hue is very unnatural ,sky selective burning is visible on the top of the trees and saturation is high.

Comment by asij:
The thing here, that is bothering me the most, is that the fisherman and his bag is pink(purpel)?
Too hard PS work here for me:/

Comment by ubique:
I like fishing shots, and they do so often convey the fisherman's self-contained world (thus independence, I guess, although to me it's more a feeling of solitude). This is a beautiful scene and accurately conveys the velvet quiet of approaching evening ... very evocative. My only disappointment here is that the fisherman is perhaps a little too distant, and thus not prominent enough to justify his titular status. But I still love the feel of this image. 7

I like this shot, but my screen is registering strong purplish hues on the sky and water, and the person's clothing.

Comment by muur88:
nice composition and feel to this shot. i wish the colors were a bit more subdued. perhaps a nice warm colored duotone would really enhance the feeling of the moment. but what do i know i've never done duotone coloring before. the leading line to the fisherman is quite nice as well. the more i look, the more that stick in the foreground bothers me...perhaps you could have broke it off...i'll stop now.

The pink tones don't do much for me. I think I would really like this with a more natural color set. Even B/W. Just not pink.
