This sure is hardcore.... If it's only a hobby fishing time, I think they have a new Xtrem sport! Good capture. Did you try B&W? As it's an almost monochrome scene it might work well. (Yep I'm colorblind)

@MnX: I think B&W would have been a good option for this scene. Too late now but I'll think about it next time. Thanks for your comment. =)

Are those guys fishing trouts ? Now I understand why this activity is said to be a sport. I must admit that the fishers I saw here did not give me this impression !

Indeed, there are a lot of beautiful places around the world, but this is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Great capture of an uncommon moment. Compositionally, the rock and two poles work well.

Wow looks dangerous, hope they won't fall into the sea, I love the waves and the surface of the rock. Also it's great how small those two guys seem in commparison to the rock and the wave. Compositionally I think it's very nice how the edge of the rock almost draws a diagonal line in the middle through the whole image. Great!

Thanks for taking such beautiful images & thanks for sharing them with everyone.
