Ominous?
Can a complex story be told with a single image? Is "a picture worth a thousand words?" Do you prefer photographs that are self-explanatory and stand on their own merit or do you like those that beg for further explanation and tell a story - or at least part of a story? This was one of a series of photos that I took of two Jamaican fishermen that, for me, 'misrepresents' the moment. There is a tension in this image that didn't exist for me when I was taking in and photographing the scene. In that sense, the photo is a falsehood - but I like it anyway :)
