Alone

A lone fisherman was spotted drifting into and out of the fog. He was in a beautiful hand-made wooden dory which re rowed from spot to spot.

Canon 6D, 24-105mm@105mm, 1/90 sec, F16.0, tripod.

The monochrome suits this lovely scene very well.  I would have been happy to have been in the place of either the photographer or the fisherman.

Very ethereal and peaceful scene Igor.  The B&W treatment works well and I like how the reeds frame the bottom of the scene.

A fine foggy scene, Igor.  The fisherman stands out nicely even as he's hidden partly by the fog.  Cropping half of the empty space onn the right would provide a better balance.

A very nice moody image perfectly suited for a black-and-white.

Wonderful in b&w. Love the mood this has with the lone fisherman and fog combination. Nice comp.

Thank you all for the kind words. I still don't like the reeds at the bottom, though.

Very compelling image. The dory is perfectly placed in the frame. Not sure the wide white border helps- would suggest a thin black one.
Fine image-congrats on the WP!

I love the mood of this shot, Igor!  Very well composed and shot.  It conveys the quietness of the fog very nicely.
