hi Tin

A fishing boat at the sea is always very good subject for photography and you have captured a good one with a group of people around it, showing men at work on the net.

I would think you should pay serious attention to your shooting because I have noticed a few posts which you have not corrected the tilt in horizon level, including this one showing serious tilt of the sea level. It will help if you rotate when doing EDIT in your computer before resize or upload.

The light exposure has extreme too in this one, with bright part and dark shadow, especially the man's face is black at the right. It is not easy to handle such bright light although polariser may be useful.

In composition, you can also think about a wider view to avoid cropping of the boat, its mast and the men at left, the boy at right.

I understand this shot was taken last year, so you might have picked up these things in your latest shooting work.

tfs, bill

Hi Tin

A superb daily life scene of the fishermen repairing the net with good sharpness & graphism. If you discount the bg sea horizon the tilt is not so obvious but its something you need to watch. I was the same when I started out in photography.

Hello Tin
Nice colors, expressions and details, my friend...but I prefer leveled horizon lines and I think it would have been easier for you to straighten with a less thight crop.
Thanks for your kind words.

Good Tools is half the work, we say here.
You also had a good tool on your camera, picture is well captured, Soe.
The unleveled horizon fits it well, but normaly water should be in level.

Nice composition . As Bryan says the horizon is tilted but to straighten it would probably lose the top of the boys head which is already touching the frame. Depending on your editing program you could use some fill in light to lighten the faces but nice shot all the same
warm regards
