[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was out of TE for some personal reasons. Last week I went to Puri in a family trip. A photographer can understand the pain of being a part of family trip and can't capture moments of your choice. So I decided to do something different. I woke up at 4 o clock in the morning and went to neraby basti of fishermen. I walked nearly 10 kms to and fro on beach to witness many great moments of daily life of fishermen. They struggle to take their boat into sea as waves throws it and sometime they also get hurted.

So lets start with this picture in puri series... Hope you may like it.

Everything about this shot is amazingly beautiful Niraj, the colours, the textures and the tones that paint a lovely hue and then of course is all that action which you have captured. Nice job. Superb composition.

Hi Niraj,
You have done a great job here.Fantastic warm tone of colours and the composition is full of life and dynamism.The motion of the waves and its textures are captured to perfection.I think those 10 kms of walk that you have done-you haven't let it go:)

Hi Niraj,

Hello,
I definitely understand your struggle. Most of my pictures are snaps of kids and doggy. And trying to find a good place for taking a serious photo I have to watch whether someone is not falling or climbing to some dangerous place. :-)
I admire you for your strong will - to wake up so early.
Anyway -great lively picture, nice colours and atmosphere
Well done
Happy New Year

YEEESSSSSSSSSSS.......U were rewarded with a great shot( probably more) because u took the pain. The moment u captured is just perfect and the boats at the further end gives a very good depth.
Well taken shot.

Hi Niraj,

Excellent capture. The moment of photograph is nicely taken

hi niraj..
wonderful action captured..color and composition are good but little lack of sharpness,otherwise its a good one..very best wishes..subir

Nice candid moment dear, by opting spot metering and ISO 400 you have achieved the detail of boat even against the light.

Hello Niraj
One of the best I've seen from Puri for a long time. Fanstastic light, but it's the action that steals the show. Never seen a boat tossed by the waves, captured so well. Excellent!
Regards
Angshu
And I understand very well the pain in photographing when with family :-)

Hi Niraj. Beautifully composed. Nice perspective as well. The boat tilted on the waves -- may be favouring the fisherman is well captured. Regards.
Partha

excellent colours and pov

Hi Niraj,
Very good action shot. The colors are good but seem a touch oversaturated. However, on a whole, its a lively shot!!!
Good one!!

Niraj,

This is an amazing picture along with very interesting narration. I loved the lovely colors of the early morning and also the spontaneous shot.
TFS. Regards,

Hemant

Hi Niraj,
You have a great dedication and passion to your work. This is looking great with superb color and early morning light.
Thanks for sharing.

HI Niraj,
Great sunset colors are produced in the picture.. Your framing is marvelous!! Nice shadows too. GREAT composition and idea!! WELL DONE!!

Sayan

I went to Puri, stayed about a month or more. The fishermen are great!!! Beautiful picture. The ehroes of India to me, are those that work so hard, but survive with a smile...... to feed their families!

Hi Niraj,
This is a brilliant take! The positionig of the boat as well as the blue colur makes the picture interesting.

Debabrata

I can only say "wow" for capturing this nice moment.

Hi Dear

Congt for this great picture which come out of your efforts, You captured a great moment there, nice compostion, perfect lights and colour and moment is great, Boats in background is also looks good, I also 100% agree that it is very diffcult to shoot picture with family or with people who not like photograpy.

Please keep shoot and share more

regards
