Fishermen getting ready to set sail .In this season fishing for the White Fish is common in Iran's northen provinces .


The Kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum, family Cyprinidae) also known as "Caspian White Fish", "Caspian Roach", "mahi sefid" in Persian, "Talaji" in Mazandarani, and "sifid mahyi" in Gileki , is a medium sized fresh water and brackish water fish native to the Caspian Sea. It is a subspecies of the Black Sea Roach Rutilus frisii frisii. It is typically a medium sized fish, reaching 45-55 cm in length, rarely 70 cm, and weighing up to 4.00 kg, rarely 5.00 kg. It used to be very common and was harvested commercially. The population seems to have collapsed due to over exploitation and pollution. Its flesh and roe is enjoyed as food, and highly prized in Gilan and Mazandaran provinces in Iran.

Jorbe

Very beautiful light, and good composition. I like how you positioned the man, in the right corner at the bottom. Very beautiful.

Hi MOhammad Reza,

Salam Mohammad,
Beautiful composition and tones. Sky is really amazing and contrast with the sea and the boat.
Well done,
Pierre

You've get a very nice light and sky contrast in your picture. The shadowing effect of the human silhouette is very well done too.
Nice shot,
Jean-Claude

Hi Mohammad,
Great shot.Excellent work.

Saffet

This is really nice. I like the threatening sky. With that kind of clouds I'm not sure if sailing is such a good idea.

Salam Mohammad,
Its really a well-composed grey shot! The dark sky has added to the mood of it and I like the colors-specially the color of the boat-and also the man who is moving toward the boat and his work in such a weather.
Good luck,
Atousa

Salam Mohammad. Very moody atmosphere. The elements are evident here in the dark, brooding sky and the restless sea. Great use of light and an excellent composition that accentustes the vastness of the body of water. Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

Hola,
a very special atmosphere in this picture like in the others of your serie of fishermen.
Nice composition.

Best regards,

Selam Mohammad,
Thanks for your critics to my entry of today. Was nice to hear from you, as otherwise I wouldn't be able to visit and see your wonderfull gallery.
All of them are real jewels, but this one, I liked best.
Wonderfull compo with this dark stormy sky and the old boat. I liked very much how the fisherman moves towards his boat. Soon he will leave the shore, and a big fight between men and nature will start .
Very nice info's as well. A really good TE job done.
TFS and have a nice time
Best firendly regards from İstanbul
