 *Post challenge*
Thanks to everyone that took the time to vote and comment. It's much appreciated.

This is my first entry with the new lens (Tokina 11-16) so I'm extra happy this did so well.

This shot was a lucky opportunity. I was at the beach to take shots for B&W sunset and this net fisherman came by. I quickly cut my sunset shot short and followed him a bit waiting for a shot of him casting his net. Unfortunately he never did so this was one of only two shots that I could grab.

I know it's hard to tell (as someone mentioned in his comment) but he's holding the net behind his back.
