Auto levels in PS.
A visitor to South Louisiana fishes from the Berwick side of Berwick Bay under the local bridges. I took this pictures yesterday for the local newspaper's front page before I knew that this challenge had started.

the question is, would you eat a fish that you caught out of a river that was that color. dynamic shot, though it seems like two shots, one on top of the other
And I thought that the Missouri river looked murky. A narrower DOF would have made the fisherman a more prominent element of the image. I'm not sure how intentional this was, but both the placement of the horizon and the color palate seems to divide this into two images: the lighter, cooler colors above the midline and the darker, warmer colors below. The rust on the bridge complements the colors in the bottom half of the image, but the lower section doesn't seem to reciprocate. I think that the composition would be stronger if there were traces of blue in the bottom of the image (the man's shorts, for example).
this is another of those really nice shots but not quite what i interpreted the challenge to be...too much giong on to distract the eye from the subject...maybe if the bridge had been cropped out leaving just the water and dock which could blend together
Looks to me like you are taking a picture on of the bridge, and the guy in the picture is just being used as a minimal object. This shot doesn't really work for me, in this challenge.
