On this photo I’ve added some layers in photoshop:

  • hue/saturation
  • brightness/contrast
  • 2 x color balance
  • layer with black

Edit: Brightened it up a bit for Rose Dayjo

The Fisherman - brighter version

  1. This one is surreal. I especially like the reflection. Adds dimension. :)

  2. I love old horror stories a la King, Hitchcock and many more – the picture could easily be used to illustrate their stories… :-)

  4. Very nice moodiness – something wicked this way comes…

    • Thanks Richard. “Wicked, moody, surreal and horror.” – I like the connotations that people get from this image :)

  5. It is very creepy. Nice contrast with the banal activity.

    • Thanks Deanne. Banal activity indeed. We didn’t get any fish either.

  6. That’s a piece of still cinematography :)

    • Thank you very much Wanderlust!

      • Umm – it was a great shot and what you’ve done to it brings it alive as though the light were shining through the man :)

  7. We have just come off a week of watching “pope” themed videos so I got a really spiritual vibe off your photo… Transcendent blue, solitude, water, that lovely glow – inspired!

    • A week of “pope” themed videos?!? I didn’t even knew such videos existed. Dope-themed would have been easier to find :D

      Thanks for nice feedback on the photo. I think the brighter version needs a bit more work, but I was short on time so I just brightened it without doing any further adjustments.

        As I refuse to give money to bad programming on cable tv, I guess you would call my viewing habits “eclectic”… saw “the Borgias” series with Jeremy Irons, a Nanni Moretti film “Habeus Papem” and “Shoes of the Fisherman” with Anthony Quinn…. now I’ll need to go on a “dope” themed film fest (that will cover alot)!

        • «a “dope” themed film fest (that will cover alot)!»
          See you in 15 years! :D (or possibly even longer – there’s just too many drug related movies).

          I totally agree with you on bad cable TV! We share the same eclectic habits.

          BTW: I’ve been working on a movie post were I list a bunch of great movies, but I haven’t posted it yet. I’ll get around to it during the next few days.
