Nice capture - Like the tones and composition but wish the poles were not cropped - Love the ships in the background which add depth but moving slightly would have helped get rid of the boat cruising through the men's bodies which is really distracting

Is fishing with a pole risky?
I like the colors and the contrast.

Man are those poles long! Great image with the lines of the poles giving a bit of drama. I already got it that fishing with poles is different than fishing with a net. I fear many will reduce the score because of the title. After a small internal struggle, I concluded that your originality on the positive side makes up for the title on the negative side, at least well enough to not mark this down from an 8.

Great photograph and composition. I think this would do very well if it weren't so over-processed.

Ah, lucky you to have him. :) I still have one of mine, too. For the future, try either taking off his glasses or finding an angle so you don't get the reflections, which take away from his nice eyes.
