Hallo Leo,
tolles Bild vom Alltag dieser Fischer. Mir gefallen die warmen Brauntöne im Kontrast zu den kälteren Blau- und Grautönen. Die Position der Fischer ist perfekt gewählt. Aber am besten gefällt mir das abgeschnittene Boot. Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt über die Wirksamkeit einer solchen Vorgehensweise. Mein Kompliment.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

Hallo Leo! Und vielleicht ist es gerade herrlich, dass es immer genau gleich, im gleichen Trott weiter geht, das Leben dahin schreitet, einfach so. Stell Dir vor, was wir alles hinten drein rennen. Aber wir alle koennen nicht waehlen, das habe ich gerade auch Way geschrieben. Vielleicht kommt dieses "genau gleich jeden Tag" aus diesem Bild heraus, es verstroemt etwas Vertrautes. Toll ... Deine Serie ist wirklich spitzenmaessig. Beste Gruesse, Barbara.

Hi Leo,
I am really enjoying your images from Kerala. The various layers of the seascape here are very nice...water, sand, a different colour of sand and ending once again with water. I also like their semi reflections, and the shot is well balanced by the boat sticking out from the side of the frame and the men going about their daily activities filling the rest of the space.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Leo
A lovely framed scene from everyday life for these two workers. Their poses against the horizon, together with their shadows, are well captured and we get a real feel for their work and their surroundings.
Regards, Susanna

Hi, Leo. Nice association of these hard-working men and the boat they use for their job. Nice alternate layers of water, sand, water and sky giving a very good depth to the image. Nice reflections and good positioning of the fishermen standing out against the water.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

scalerman (25787) 2009-03-23 14:23

Andreas: it would be hard to argue with this perfectly cropped image. Great color as usual - but it's great to see some action in your image. best, c

avene (11140) 2009-03-23 16:48

hi Leo,
is this the same beach where you had the trouble with the bird that spoiled your carefully arranged composition? :) I like a lot the layers here, but I personally would prefer a composition without the half-boat on the right. I realise it might not have been possible, so I'm just thinking aloud here :) the clarity is great, it feels as if I can see every single thread on the ropes.

best,
Kristine

Hello Andreas, great composition with nice exposure. I like this moment capture, show one simple moment of labour, the human condition.

Hi Leo, clever compo in layers, loosely symmetric vertically. A nice daily life scene, in pretty light. Congratulations, Daniel

Budapestman (42876) 2009-03-24 3:05

Hi Andreas,
Splendid daily life shot with spectacular composition and superb details. The life of these people may be difficult, the endless landscape could be the symbol of the hard weekdays, the thick ropes are with a symbolic value likewise. Suggestive shot. Have a nice day!
George

Hello Andreas,

I like this photo of daily life in this area. I like these 2 man carrying those ropes. The reflections in the water are very nice and the colours of the photo are great. Wonderful work!

Greetings,
Ann

vincz (19045) 2009-03-25 0:47

Very nice with the three horizontal layers. The reflections in the first layer aregreat. The compostion with the boat on the right is so well balanced.Maybe you saw the compsotion before and waited for the people to enter the frame :)

Waylim (11159) 2009-03-25 12:57

Leo,
Beautiful daily life shot, I like the composition built up with layers of elements, Puddle water wiht reflection to the sand bar, the wooden surface where the men are walking, the ocean and the sky. All is nice and sharpe and the men leading us to the boat. Technically all is great as always. Thanks.
Way

Sistercosmo (2691) 2009-03-25 14:23

Ottima luce e perfetta inquadratura.
