First off, Valdore and Ghostguts, looking good 
.
Anyways..
I agree with you composition wise and would probably have tried it differently if I were shooting B & W, but the fact is that when I took this photo the stark contrast between the bright yellow of the fisherman's overalls and the blue of the sky just jumped at me; that's what I tried to evoke by including such a huge piece of sky.
Also, since this photo is destined to be the cover piece for an article about Britany's artisanal fishery (my first ever actual job !!!!!!!!!!*100,000,000), the extra space on top gives a generous margin for titles, etc.
Thanks. Means alot to me!
I've only just started importing the hundreds of images I took, so later I'll post another in the 'fisherman' series.

I agree, the B&W is great on this, her expression and shadows arond the eyes is terrific.
Another shot. Comments and criticisms?
IMO the guy blends in with the background to much.

Ghostguts what lens are you using for those portraits? It looks very sharp.
Speaking of sharpness, this is with my 16-85mm VR, no PP whatsoever (to be fair I had in-camera sharpening set to +1). I have so many pics from the fishing shoot that I don't know where to start...
Fresh caught Langoustine basking in the sun before being sold..

For the shot I just posted, I used a standard 40d kit lens: EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
For some of the portraits that I've posted throughout this threat, I typically use a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto lens
First shot I've posted to a PotD thread for a while.
Shot of a rose from a hanging basket in front of the house. Fill flash was used to isolate the rose and produce the catchlights in the water droplets. Only post-processing was a minor tweak of curves and levels.

My last one of the green city with the impressive clouds. And when it rains it really rains. We saw the streets turn into floods within minutes.
Just pulled off the road driving home to take this. Comments?
I think it adds a nice sense of balance to it.
The photo itself is okay, to me at least. It is a bit bland, but the sky doesn't hurt it at all.
Similar to my first fishing set picture, but with a bit more emphasis on the touristic nature of the fish unloading..

A bit off subject. "touristic"???? Is this one of those "new" words that have just been added to the dictionary??????
