Not bad. The ideal crop would make it better. The subjects need to be at the golden mean, for best composition.

First, I wanna say I'm not anti-gun. I was in the army, I'm not afraid of private persons owning weapons. Politically, I make Ron Paul look like a Commie. I think this is your best photo, better than the ones with guns in them. The gun photos look cheesey.

Initially, I wanted to disagree with Lallure Photographic - rules can be broken, including 'the golden mean', successfully. But, I agree with him, more crop on the right would improve the photo.

firearms have nothing to do with this picture. It's two villagers in Negril Jamaica hand fishing on a cliff at sundown. Only thing being used to aim and shoot is a camera.

Level the horizon, photo left is low
I would suggest cropping some of the top of photo off, a point halfway from horizon to top of photo [Why, the top part of the sky is bland, plus cropping will take and move the horizon up to the 1/3 point]
Also crop photo right off half way between far right and fisherman [Why, it will move the fishermen to the intersection of the vertical and horizontal 1/3 area as well. Look up the guide for composition on rule of thirds for more information]

Cool photo … or should that be warm shot? [We are at 15 degrees this morning]


Happy thanks giving!
