The Trophy Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is Mr. Giorgos Dourtas, the fisherman, one of the 150 inhabitants of Nisaki, the islet in Pamvotis Lake. He had just returned from a boatride in the lake, when I met him and I asked him if I could take a photo. He accepted and posed proudly with his "trophy".

About an hour later, while I was walking in the picturesque alleys of the small village in Nisaki, Mr. Dourtas came out of a tavern and invited me for a "meze" and a glass (or glasses) of Tsipouro. I accepted... of course!

Funny photo. Superb models (both the man and the fish), smart POV. Maybe need to be cropped from the top...

Hello Hercules,
what incredible fish, you did well to ask him to take a photo, because these are really great moments of real life, so true and so exiting.
Excellent portrait with great colors, I like it.
A dear hug.

Kalispera Hercules.

¿Piensas dejar el mundo del periodismo para dedicarte a la pesca?
Mmmm... viendo las fotos que haces, yo me quedaría en el periodismo.

El punto de vista elevado y ese modo un poco orgulloso con el que muestra su trofeo ayudan mucho a la composición. Y tanto el color como los contrastes resaltan mucho más la escena.
Me gusta, sí.

Ta leme, file mou.

Hi Hercules,
All those green objects here are expertly placed, as to pointing directly to the fish. The fish is definitely the centerpiece here, and the fisherman looks really proud, now that his catch is exposed to the whole world!
Kind regards
Gunnar
