Fishing Boats at Na Thon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Thai fishing boats at Na Thon pier on Ko Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. I liked the colourful flags, layered composition, & the buzzing, hive of activity.

Hello Chris,
Lots of activity going on here. I like the low pov and the repeating shapes of the boats.

Olá Chris, indeed it's nice to observe the buzy atmosphere of all the boats, but I would say that this one in foreground makes the photo, especially because of the interaction with the human element that you happened to get. Good shot!
Cheers,
Ricardo

Hi Chris,
Interesting compo with the halfboats (I've done something similar lately- quite a coincedence). Beautiful colours and atmosphere.

Hi Chris,
real "daily life", it was my first thought before reading your category. Very natural shot of a bit chaotic scenery with - as you wrote - a lot of colourful flags. I am most attracted by the two guys in the front boat.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

The shot is a bit busy, but I guess that is what gives it a sense of life and activity. The two fishermen in the closest boat are interesting, especially the one that is looking at the camera, making a connection. Well done!

Salut Chris,
Point de neige ou de glace dans tes photos, mais toujours de très belles couleurs et de points forts.
Encore une vue intéressante de la Thaïlande.
Bien à toi depuis le QUEBEC mon Ami.

Hi Chris. The light looks to be on the harsh side but I think you managed it well. This is a busy shot but because of how the depth arranges the boats it’s not overly busy. I might reduce the brightness a notch or two. tfs Chris.

Hola Chris.
Very good shot captured with a great perspective, the many boats produces a nice view. Excellent composition with the line of cars, trees and people, this is a superb daily life shot. Well done.

Hello Chris,
A crowded longtail compo and daily life scene... nice soft colors, good POV and framing, the line of parked cars on top is surprising and makes a frameing too!
Cheers
Marilyn

Hi Chris,
Quite an array of colour and craft for the eye to enjoy. I like the boat in the foreground, which anchors the shot and presents the people ensconced in the vessel with the sail lying across the bow. Good lighting and shadow effects and you controlled the glare well. A fine capture, Chris.

Namaste Chris
This is a good one...the layers of the boats one behind the other & the red flags..there's a lot of activity & surely looks like a noisy place.

Hi Chris

Good capture of daily life. Thai boats really have some color to them. These men working hard mending their nets. Well done.
