Thank You for this encouraging comments. I will do my best to go for the A pictures :). As for the B&W I love it more and more and list of cases when I turn to colour is becoming shorter day by day :). But sometimes happen.. like the one I attached again :)

From a guy who cut his teeth as a newspaper photographer, I will tell you, Mariusz, that it's wonderful when your photo can tall the whole story without any text or explanation. We will call this photo A. To someone in the fishing industry this is all the explanation they need. But, as Kim pointed out, to the novice there could be confusion.
Photo B is an image that is strong enough to draw the reader's attention to it enough to make them want to read the caption below--or better the story that it illustrates. This photo qualifies. I'm writing my first comment of the day because it caught my eye as being interesting.
Photo C moves into art and professionalism. This is what I see in this image. Not just two men scraping scales at the end of the day so they can go out again tomorrow--I see a relationship between these two men. I see both depth and perspective in this complex and accurate composition. I see a photograph that belongs in a classroom. Take the rule of thirds alone--it's fabulous. What a clever boy you are to make us think you didn't know what you were doing.
And, as much as I love reala--the black and white was a good decision.

OK - I think the attached shot will make some explanation :) I couldn't come closer - I had 24 mm and was standing right to the boat...but "showing more" was not my goal .. I just wanted to get this pattern of two fishermen on boat.. I agree that it could be more convincing :)

This might be a practice that is common among fisherpeople, but as a removed critic, I have no clue what this photo is trying to convey. I see the relationship between the two people and I can understand that they are working on a a boat, but beyond that I need to see some action that solidly marks what they are doing. This might be achieved by getting closer, or using a different angle... Or, if you are submitting it to a fishing mag, where people know what's going on! *smile* I like the framing, and the relationship is present between the two, so I think you've done a great job in those respects.
