I like the unusual subject matter - not the typical sea/coastal image. The intensity of the dark baskets is great and the slightly blurred boat really helps tell us what's going on. Nice contrast!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a stunning image to look at! I love the lines, the way you are lead in, brought up to the boat in the background and lead back out the other side. The tones are also very warm and inviting. So the questions remains, "Why only a 5.6?"

A couple of tiny things would be my best guess. First, as mentioned before, the horizion is slightly off kilter, just a touch. Makes you think everything is going to slide out the right side of the picture and the taller traps on that side lend to that feeling. If you possibly slightly rotate it back to the left, bringing the horizon back to a level line that might make a difference. And last, the choice of colors for the duotone. It comes off almost as pink on my monitor and it is calibrated. Warmer sepia tones might have really made this shot stand out. If you redo this shot I would LOVE to see the results! Hope my comments help!

Love the traps in silhouette against the backgroud. Great tones.

I love the transparency and delicate feel of the cages in the foreground, plus the strong contrast against the muted background. Unique subject, and interesting composition. Well done. 10

Beautiful image. It's a simple but effective idea, skillfully photographed and processed. The most appealing thing for me is the connection between the traps and the boat. It makes the image work intellectually as well as graphically. And the toning is very nice, too. 7.

I will be interested to hear about how you managed that black-black in the foreground if you did this via a duotone process. Pretty image, what kind of traps are they? Crab?

Very nice. I would have loved to see this with more blue (although that might have felt cold).
