Reala

Thanks Ibraar. I've been using Reala since it came out abot 16 years ago. The name says it all, it renders colors realistically.

Ive been experimenting with Kodak portra 160VC, its good - with bold eye popping colours, however Reala in my opinion is BETTER! Its the best print film Ive ever used

closer view

When I double click to a larger view I note slight flaring in the lower left corner but that is still not enough to prevent the lens from picking up the droplets falling from the net. Beautiful capture nicely done.

Excellent

This is simply one of the best photographs of its type. The color and the subject are strong and the photo is perfectly balanced between the sunn and the fisherman. .

spot on

I'm sorry I did not see this the first go around. It reminds me of an NGS article about fisherman in Sicily.

Beautiful capture

Ken this one is right on the money. I would hang this photograph on my wall for sure.

Exceptional

Beautiful light, fine timing and expertly crafted composition. This could even be a frame captured by a cinematographer to open a movie. Very nice work.

Take 2

A second look comvinced me that this shot was definitely a winner. Great timing also.
