This photo is quite dart and although the title is silhoutted fisherman - you reall don't see him too clearly. The silhoutted trees overwhelm the photo.

good shot, though the horizon is a little squint i feel.

The position of the boat in the frame is good however could possibly be a little bit lower. Separation of the boat from the background would help as well. This would require a higher vantage point on the part of the photographer.

One last thing, the horizon is tilted slightly to the left. Not enough to be intentional (IMO) and is therefore distracting.

Good catch with the birds in the frame.

The color of this photograph seems not right to me (white blance). To much yellow, magenta. I think it will look nicer with a straight horizon.

A bit too cluttered to make for an effective silhouette.

The tilted horizon is a little distracting for me, and I wish there was more clarity/detail on the silhouette. The sky came out well and the clouds look very nice. I like the birds in flight.

Quite peaceful and serene...

The fisherman seems a little out of focus, but I love the composition.

This is a great start, but I think the boat and the water need more contrast to really make the silhouette of the fisherman "pop" out at us. The shoreline is too close to his head and he almost blends in. Horizon line is tilted up to the right. The sky could use some contrast and saturation adjustments as well. Good luck in the challenge. :)

hmmm. unfortunatly nothing is in sharp focus and the horizon is terribly slanted.

Nice idea, but I think for better impact the fisherman should be more isolate. He's too close to the shoreline the way this image is framed.
