[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this was taken on the same day the photos'step up', 'cast away', 'Mr lonely' and 'summer love' were taken...
in the north east coast of Alexandria, away from the city's noise and pollution we have a house there, every summer the hole family gathers there for a while its a 'must-do' thing in our family, spend somrtime toghether and have fun BBQ etc...
while i do the photograph-ing of everything ofcourse =P

so i couldent let the chance of takin gr8 shots slip away from me, took a shot of almost every moment we spent ther [a little bit exaggerating here] but yea i took soo many photos that day! =)
this is one of the photos i liked most...
i really enjoy captuing the sunset especially when its by the sea, its the most thing i like to photograph, draw, paint...
i liked this one alot because of the lonely fisherman in it...

PP: incresed shadowing to get darker silhouette figure of the fisher man, slightly incresed contrast and color saturation...
i know thers a sunstrike here an the area around the sun is a bit too bright/contrasty here i couldent edit that part well...
[still not a great photoshoper yet, but learning] =)
hope you like it tho
let me know what you think =)

thanx 4 passin by

after posting the original one thoght it might nee some croping to increase the focus and emphasis on the fisher man, as his figure is quite small in the photo, but at the same timei want to show the lovely sunset veiw by the beach, check the workshop and let me know what you think =)

Hello Suhailah,
Very nice photo. The colours are very nice. I note you had a little sun strike on your lens when you took this photo. I done a workshop for you. Hope you like it. :-)I love the colours and sights in Egypt. I put a few of my Egypt pics on TL.

TFS your lovely photo on TL.

salam suhailah :)

a nice try, but we need to crop it differently (wide format) and we need to see the fisherman better than we can now :)

but i know you mentioned you are a beginner :) so its ok, practice makes perfect :) also, i just love the detailed note you wrote, it really adds a lot of interest to read interesting notes such as the one you posted :) keep it up :)

salam alekum :)
