 "You did not kill the fish only to keep alive and to sell for food, he thought. You killed him for pride and because you are a fisherman. You loved him when he was alive and you loved him after. If you love him, it is not a sin to kill him. Or is it more?"; from "The man and the sea", Ernest Hemingway

Thats quite nice, fab job of catching the netting at the water at the right time. The title may be a bit confusing for some, but great shot.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

I like this. I think it has much interest to it with the net and the splash, and even the bird. But the man is so obscured. I would have loved this from another angle to get the face of the man as he threw the net. I still give it a 5 though, for interest value and technicals.
