Wow .. I really like the grainy effect here. This shot is stunning .. the way the colors are almost gone from everything else except the fisherman. Could you tell me please how you achieved the grainy look. 10/10
I could have given this photo 2 more points if everything in it were sharply focused. As it is, nothing is really in sharp focus. It is very grainy, which lends a certain charm to it and gives it a sort-of antique look. The sky looks blown out, but with many coastal weather patterns, the sky is often exactly that color. I am wondering if a polerizing filter might have helped?
Your composition here is very nice with both the fisherman and the boat - I like how they are "heading" into each other. I don't know whether you planned this as an artistic effect - but your photo has an antique feel to it - due to the graininess (noise) and colors so muted that it is almost black and white.
