Photographer’s Note
A fisher of carpes in honor to CARPER (Jaap Polak)!
Hi Jaap, come to catch the italian carpes! (really, i don't know if in the Garda lake the carpes are usual...?!)
From my pov, on the promenade between Torbole and Riva del Garda, i was running under a fine rain and my attention was attracted from the bright yellow of the jacket.
The bigger tech.problem was... not to wet the camera!
Simply a 'relaxing' shot... after all, the fisher (an hobbist, i presume) was relaxed even though the rain

Ciao Giorgio, bella composizione di colori e immagine molto nitida nonstante la pioggia. Mi piace anche che tu l'abbia decentrata e non abbia croppata troppa acqua.
Dopo tante barche morte fa piacere vederne anche una in vita ;-) però aspetto anche la continuazione della serie ...

thanks Giorgio,
I really like the shot. But I don't think he is fishing on carp. When I look to his angle, no not a carp angle. The water look to me very clean there,the pof of this one is great even as the coloujrs, very good job.

Bella composizione con colori di grande naturalezza. Notevole la trasparenza dell'acqua
e la vista del remo *rotto".
