First off I like the image. I like the objects in the background are a bit out of focus. I do like your processing to an extent. Good in B&W and even like the grain…even though it was added. A few things I wish were different…don’t like how the hand and head are soft, out of focus. The jacket is the only thing that is sharp. I would like to see a bit more of the water…but I guess that’s not necessary. I wanted to see that this guy was really sailing on a boat…maybe a shot with the mass, but don’t know if that would have been too cluttered. Ultimately I don’t know if this was posed or you went to take a photo and he did that. If it was the later then I like it as is…spontaneous and candid. If not there might have been a more compelling angle to get more of the boat or water…or both. Like I said I do like the shot…different for DPC…which is very good.
i really like this shot. very quirky. The lines are facinating, how the boat leans one way and the horizon leans another, and his jacket pockets lean both ways, all leading into the subject who has a perfectly fitting odd pose. the shifted bordering works for me too.
