interesting set. In the first I assume that the black thing is what he's throwing? The last one made me smile- it seems that the water is cold ;)

Don't be mean to the guy! :) He might have a very full hand there!! ;)

Cool set. I like that 2nd shot ... the shadow of the batter is very cool!

Hello Niklaus and welcome to the forum.
Looks like you started with a bang here. This is a lovely set and I agree with MA. Love the shadow-play on the wall, and the perfect exposure in shot #2.

Hey, Niklaus, welcome to the forum. Great start and I can only echo what the others have said. Love the second one with the strong shadow but the humour in the last one is infectious. Great stuff.

I like these pics. The 2nd is quite nice. The b/w really works well here!

thank you all for your nice comments..I'm glad you liked them
Bambi: yes, he is throwing cones to her, softcone it is then:)

This shots were all taken on island of Skarda in Croatian part of Adriatic sea. The island is kind of remote, with no electricity, drinking water supply so it's very wild in some sort of way..Every few days the fisherman would arrive and I would go fishing with him..There are only cca 10 houses on the island, some deserted, some available for rent..Basically we were alone on hole island..

Here are some more pictures to finish this story

The shadow in 2 is indeed very cool :)

And I love number 7, the backlighting on the batter is brilliant, especially around the head.

I really like the second one in the first set. Caught after the swing, the shadow on the wall, POV, and the post processing all make this an awesome shot. Very well done!
