I forgot this picture until last evening. It represents a traditional white bait fisherman in the French island of La Réunion. He was checking its keepnet.

Good image, Zav. Great to see.

Have you tried bringing out the tones on those huge pebbles at all? Just a thought.

Yes, a great image, nicely captured! Could probably be tweaked a bit, as suggested.

The fisherman gives great scale to the composition and helps show the size of the wave, very nice.
