Tan and muscles Photo

Photographer’s Note

Continuing my series on tanned and muscly men,( dedicated to Bibiweb )...
No, it's not Venice beach, and these guys don't work out on complicated machines, their brown skin doesn't come from tanning salons... it all comes form hard work !

These fishermen spend their time pushing the boats and pulling them from the sea, lifting fishnets under the burning sun.
Here most of them are back from their work day, they start before sunrise, and in the afternoon you can see them reparing their nets.

A nice color show for our eyes...
In the back, the famous shore temple with its gracious silhouette facing the sea.

Hi Vanessa,

Very nice shot. I like the very vivid colours and how you placed the focus on the fisherman on the forground. Intersting composition.
Nice job!
Quentin.

Hi Vanessa,
It looks like a report shot to me! There is some sort of franzy in this photo with the buisy background, the bright colors etc...
Well done!
Nicolas

Hey Vanessa,

muscly men?:) Well, they do have impressive muscles but more than that this is an impressive photo. It reminds me very much of a photo by Maciekda I saw recently, with apealing messyness of the life on the beach. Good POV to shoot from

anjan (1086) 2006-12-12 6:34

Good work Vanessa, specially wit the shore temple in the background.

Hello Vanessa. A beautiful and color-glad picture. For the people in the photo it is however only normal and hard work. And it is their everyday beach. Perhaps they do not know, why they are photographed. An in any case beautiful photo that in each book of pictures would find a place. Greeting, Wolfgang.

Salut la future maman.
Alors...le terme approche ?
Sympa ta photo, plein de détails, plein de choses à voir, de belles couleurs, des gens éparpillés, l'oiseau sur le haut,...tout est là.
Juste pour pinailler un poil, j'aurais presque viré cette "tache", ce truc flou en bas à droite...mais voilà :)
Bien joué

fayeulle (26539) 2006-12-12 15:26

Salut Vanessa
Je suis heureux que tu sois interressé par le hommes musclés. Moi je suis gros et adipeux. Donc je n'est aucune chance. Il faut bien laisser la chance à d'autres ;o)
C'est tout de même sympa de pouvoir rire de soi-même ....
Psitt... Chouette photo !

Beaucoup de choses réunies dans le même cadre, y compris ce très attachant temple et malgré cette vilaine digue...
Merci de me rappeler ce bel endroit.
Bonne journée

Hello Vanessa,
ça va, le grand jour approche ?
T'as volé le D50 de Luan pour cette photo ? :)
Voilà une image bien ficelé, par contre le filet à l'air sérieusement emmêlé.
La lumières et les couleurs sont très belles.

PS : A ne pas manquer !!! Affaire en Or !!!

Vanessa,
So many details, yet not loosing out the scene...
Mahabalipuram is always wonderful.
Cheers

Hello Vanessa,
ood capture of the daily life of these people. Like the POV and good light. Sharpness and contrast is perfect.
Well done
Thanks for sharing
Best regards
Vivek

VeeJayCee (2410) 2006-12-17 7:35

Tanned and muscled eh? That describes me ... 40 years ago! An excellent slice of daily life so different from my own. It shows the hard labour they endure but also in the colourful boats, a sense of upbeat love of the life they lead.

atilgone (4749) 2006-12-21 3:14

Hi Vanessa,

Very good picture. I like colors very much. Blur background works well in your picture. Well done. TFS
Kind regards

oochappan (22024) 2006-12-21 4:19

The sun was down giving this extra warm mood on the lots of activities here on the beach and indeed the one with the muscles in front plan, the bird the extra, excellent to steel the camera once :)).

ps read about Anand, reply of my muscles ...

great !

ryno (4564) 2006-12-23 8:13

Hi Vanessa, this is an excellent shot - full of vibrant, vivid colour and life. I like the repetition of the boat shapes, and the bird in the upper right corner is a nice touch too. Well done! Regards,
Ryno

Salut Vanessa,

Justement le genre qui m'énerve, parceque en voyant ces beautés de photos je me dis que je loupe tellement en n'allant pas encore dans cette région de l'Inde.

Bonne Heureuse Année - Izzet

pady (4800) 2007-01-07 11:12

C'est magnifiquement coloré et plein de vie ton image. Quelle chance de pouvoir visiter ces contrées.
La composisition est admirable avec ce temple à l'arrière-plan.
Meilleurs voeux pour 2007
Amitiés

Nice color ful work when sun is on Top.
Strong contrast..Color of boat is really pooping up & making ambient warm..
Crow, Pigon or any bird..on top is intresting addition but pity that it is very close to upper frame..(But hardly matters) :D
Only I feel that you shoulf have more closer to those guys rather than using Zoom..
Reason is..Though you are on actual street..you are quite away from them, & though you are in them..you are not part of..
Keep it up.
Regards,

coco (27542) 2007-01-27 16:47

Well documented.
Good note.
Nice colors.
Perfect Title!

Benedict (7060) 2007-09-02 8:24

those are beefy muscles from hard work that are naturally acquired, indeed! they are not products of hurried-gym exercises and steroids; they are 'organic', not 'fertized'!!
it is a well composed work, the colors are remarkbale. the inclusion of the flying bird and the temple behind are added
charms.

German74 (771) 2008-01-18 8:24

Hola Vanessa, es muy interesante la nota con la que describes tu foto...

La foto está muy bien compuesta, el momento muestra con claridad el desempeño de los trabajadores, y el colorido es muy agradable y vistoso...

Abrazos...
