 I was shooting a beautiful conversion of a former mill to apartments when I saw this fisherman on the nearby Hudson River. I took a couple of shots of the scenery with him in a corner. When he pulled a fish out of the water, I zoomed in and got one shot off.
Post processing included curves and levels, unsharp mask, resize and save.

Would have been great if cropped to include only the fisherman and the fish. I can hardly see the catch.

Hard to see the success...but get your point. Closer zoom would help meet the category better

I think this would have been more effective if the fisherman were isolated in the shot. The dock, walkway to the dock, object in the water, etc., detract from the shot.

Nice lighting on this, the railing is very distracting.
