This is Crawford, a fisherman with more interesting stories than a library. I had gone down to our breakwater when i got home from a trip and decided i needed to get out and went down here(my first time in at least 5 years). and i was taking photos on the breakwater when i saw this gentleman on the side of hte breakwater. i ran as fast and safe as i could to get down there. Explained who i was and that im a local photographer and that he would be perfect for my shot. He happily agreed to be in the photo. after i took some shots i spent over an hour there just talking with him about fishing and how peaceful it is and was out that day. i was going to help him Gaff in a big fish if he caught one but after a while i got the call from my mom telling me its dinner time so i didn't have hte pleasure of helping him catch "the big one". I think this was one of my best photographic expierences of my life and i honestly could care less what this scores, im merely entering this to share with you all my new friend Crawford, and his Haven.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

| Not to fond of post processing, but this is real nice. If this is natural, you did very well. |

| I like it. Looks like it should be a post card saying wish you were here or gone fishing. Nive. |
