[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
a layman trying to get his lively hood by using fishing rod and bate, a commonly seen procedure on the banks of lake the called vembandu lake, famous for its serene beauty.
people come here to see the beauty of the lake,
but do not look into the struggles,the common people meat with every day.
due to the fast growing tourism industry, the lakes are geting polluted and the ecology damaged.
the common people are to pay the price.
there arise an uncertainity in their life,

"what next? what will there be for them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

No doubt the saturation is high on the left side of the frame,but this decreases the lonliness of the fisherman. He is so immeresed in the waters and concentrated on the fishing line that the time and space don't leave any impact on him.
I must say the Umbrella has an added advantage.

The man lives in the middle of nowhere.
The white, underestimated in color photography, obtains here his revenge.
Unwordly.
Kind regards.

This is great. Dont know if it really about 'uncertain tomorrows' , but the balance of blue and white is really good!And the reflections make it just beautiful!

I love the peaceful, quiet emptiness of the frame. In fact I'd even be tempted to go as far as emphasising it by removing the slight traces of the shoreline. The wide expanse of white emptiness, along with the stillness of the water makes a lovely statement of the fisherman quietly going about his daily business. I don't like the despondent title though - to me it's more tranquil than lonely.

Hi vineeth

Very peacefull photo, but with strong message.

Good work, I like overexposed light.
Well done
