Sunrise Fisherman

Posted by
Jerry (Tampa, United States) on 6 March 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I wasn't the only crazy guy up early Sunday morning! Here we have a dedicated fisherman waiting for the big one - the monster that pulls him over the rail, through the bay for 3 hours and finally out into the Gulf before tiring! He was still waiting when I left - maybe next week...

Nice composition. You sure took the time to position the sun where it was. Anyway, did you intend to make the frame of your photo semi transparent (I noticed the right side of the photo)?
