 subsistence fishing along south africa's cape coastline is quite a common lifestyle and dates back many centuries - this image portrays an extended family engaged in the day's work...the gloominess of the overcast morninglight adds subtle atmosphere

Even though I like the composition in general, it's just too out of focus.

I think this would work better if the person on the wall were not centered. Good focus and colors.

I Don't see much association to old in the picture itself (only via its title).

Too many horizontal lines and not really a clear focus. I understand, fog, haze, etc. I do like the blak rocks :)

i think you need to get right in there and make something the center of attention.
