From one who is wishing for a 5.5 now, LOL, nice photo, but to me the wow/pop factor is missing. Looks too real for most of the voters here (my opinion, only)!! The post processing did not leave this with the "electric blue" or deep golds that seem to be the only way to score well with a sunrise/sunset photo! I like it, wish the angle had put more lake, less trees in background, but that is a personal thing!

| A nice scenic fishing picture. It is a good picture and has all of the right elements but it needs a little more work for it to move into the outstanding category. First off the location and angle are good - you have the scenic background of the lake and the lovely glow of an early morning sunrise. You have a side profile shot of the fisherman such that we have a good view of what he is doing - holding the fishing pole. The problem is with the angle and location of where you choose to shot this. The barren trees in the background do nothing for the shot other than distract attention away from the sunrise AND it's tangle of barren branches help lose the fishing pole's defining shape. The fishing pole needs to be distinct and separate from those trees. If it were at all possible I would recommend finding a location where there are no trees to act as a backdrop to distract attention away from the fisherman, the fishing pole and the lovely sunrise. Next I am not too sure that the yellow outfit he is sporting is overall complimentary to the mood you want to present in the picture - serene, calm and tranquil. That yellow is overbearing to the serenity that the scene presents. I know that something has to be yellow to meet the challenge but I think you could have very easily played up those warm and wonderful yellows & oranges in the sunrise. The colors of the sunrise would become the major element that is the backdrop to just a side profile of the fisherman in silhouette. |

| Looks like your subject is the fisherman but he's in competition with that yellow toned sunrise and losing. The colors are bright and the composition & idea are good but there's a flat feeling to the image overall. 5. |
