[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Two fisherwoman waiting for the boats to arrive from the sea with the day,s catch. This lake (Thanni) meets the Arabian sea beyond those coconut trees in the far. The fish will be bought by these ladies and will be taken to the local market for sale. They are little anxious about the days catch.

Good photographers notes explaining what must be a common everyday scene. A calmness seems to be emiting from the lady despite her being anxious.

Nice and sharp with subtle colors on this hazy day.

Great Job.

Hello Radeeh,

I find this composition very well, but why the picture so small? Reflections and colours are nice, also the two ladies in foreground given a good image of the daily life in your country, very well done.

Best regards,
John

Perdona que te conteste en español, pero mi ingles es horrible. Vengo de estar un mes en India, y esa imagen que presentas la he visto igual en los Backwaters. Resulta un lugar mágico

good capture of the two waiting ladies. the expression on the face of the older lady gives an account of how long they have been waiting for the boat to come. good pov and tfs.
regards,
arjun

Hi
Nice reflection of palm trees in still water.
A crop on bottom will further improve

Ciao Radeeh!!

what a lovely composition!!
I like the two women's attitude, one showing her face and the other one looking at the water. I like that they are dark, sharp: a good foreground! And the palms background is good too, with a lovely reflection

Very peaceful scene. Interesting contrast between the ground and the coconut trees.

greetings

radeeh,
a daily life moment captured very well here. nice expressive face of the lady on the right. good color and contrast. coconut groves on the bg and teh body of water adds some life in this great shot.

Olá Radeeh, this is an excellent daily life capture. Good title and short note to explain what is going on here. I like your composition with the beautiful scenery of palmtrees and their reflections seen in the background. But the fisherwomen and especially the expression that we can see at right is what makes this photo sucessful. Very well done!
Ricardo
