as i said in my introduction, usually too busy for good shots, but after lifting the six guys to safety managed a grab shot through the window as the fishermen said goodbye to their boat.

Bit to much sea for me Mate,would crop to a portrait which would also emphasise the going down of the boat...

That's what I call a dramatic shot. Shame you couldn't zoom in, I guess you were busy.

I'm looking at this image and thinking about the men you helped winch to safety from that sinking boat. It's an amazing shot and you have a b******y amazing job.
Technically it could do with the changes sugested by Mello but to have actually taken the picture at all is fantastic going. Well done ropedope. Stay safe mate

thanks for your comments guys, as i said it was a grab shot with a cheap point and shoot, i've thought, could i improve this image at all, i needed to keep the seagull for the sense of scale, but to crop it anymore took away alot as the resolution was so poor and would struggle to make an A4.
