Response to Boy and his father fishing on pier.

Nigel, i agree that there is some emotional weight in this scene. a couple of things interest me... each subject has a different chair and height and the shadows kind of frame the space they are sitting in. i like the diagonals although they are almost too strong and the people aren't quite echoing any of them. for these reasons i would have tried some other view options (if i can be so bold) one would be a shot from standing position behind with them (square to their backs) with a wide angle lens (21mm) or even a silloute into the light from a low position something like sons head height. the tension (not being a fisherman mind you) could then come from the fishers stare out to the sea as they seem to do as if they will see the fish and some humour from the small med large thing.
