A daily life scene in Langkawi: fishermen unloading their catch after a day's work. Their customers, probably restaurant owners, were already waiting for them at the beach when the fishermen arrived, thus all their catch were sold out immediately. All in all, I think they unloaded ~8-10 baskets of fish. This was taken near the Telaga Harbour Park.

Langkawi comprises a group of 99 "small" islands north of Malaysia, very near the border of Thailand. The main island is popularly known as Pulau Langkawi. Watersports and snorkelling are just a few of the thrills the island offers to her visitors.

Interesting daily life shot of this place, I hadn't realised there was any local fishing activity left here, I imagined it was all beach to beach resorts. Nice catch, if you'll excuse the pun.

A very nice capture here Alford, excellent daily life picture with poeple at work, the flgs give evident more colour at you image, also the background very sharp and clear!
Well seen!
John.

Good shot.I like the composition and point of view.Good colors and good contrast between them.I like the light and sharpness.Good reflections in the water.I like the persons.Good job!

Selamat Pagi Alford !
Nice scene contrasting with the touristy visage we know of this island, good angle and result with colors under a difficult light, you could just have framed a little bit wider to include the full boat, because its construction style is nice too and fully belongs to that photo.
Have a nice week end,
jean-Yves

very good daily shot, I like the fishermen and also the people in the backgroud, very good shot

Thanks

Gosto da atmosfera de exotismo que voce obtem em suas imagens. E um mundo fantastico para um brasileiro que gosta de aventuras.

Alford!!!, Sem exageros, o seu portugues esta otimo. As expressões, construção de frases, realmente esta muito bom.
Um grande abraço meu amigo.

VEry good composition of fisherman boats, in a quality photo. Nice angle of view, good colors and contrast. The fishermen add live to this picture. Also my last post is about fisherman and boats.

Well done and my congratulations!
