Chaimelle, this is so pretty! I love the upside down composition! And how it gets sharper and more crystal clear as it reaches the main subject. Wow!!!!

Comment by CNovack:
The contrast & tones in this composition appear a bit too flat - more grey shades are present than any dynamic ranges of whites,greys, and blacks. Playing with Brightness/Contrast levels and well as clarify and channel mixer could help increase the dynamic range and really make it pop. Also I like the subject of the composition captured here but your main subjects swim and get lost in their environment. Don't be afraid to get closer to your main subject - bring the viewer in show us more of your main subjects - these two fisherman. Getting closer to your subjects would have also changed the angle to a more level eye level with your subjects not to mention include more of a level horizon of where the water meets the land and land meets the sky. It is taken at a vantage point of looking slightly down and as such because of that angle and lack of proximity to your main subjects we feel removed from the action because we are observing the scene from far away and high above.
