Photographer’s Note
Chilika Lake is one of the biggest lagoon with a bird sanctuary in Orissa, India. I was travelling in a country boat with fishermen discussing about their issues. The early morning had an overcast sky. They were telling about their problems such as competition from organized industries and mechanised boats, balacning delicately with conservation such as bird sanctuary and earning livelihood, fluctuating price etc. One of them was saying that there is no rang (colour) in their life. At that time I spotted this country boat moving towards the fog. Using WS I antiqued the photo. I thought that the photo reflected the grimness of the situation.

A poignant photo, and well composed, though it lacks something in crispness.

beautiful.... I really like the bleekness of it and after reading what you said it fits well. I like that it's a bit washed out and the antiqued look was a good call in my opinion.
Nice job :)

Hi,
I like the subject of your picture, and the washed out colours go well with the mood you describe in your note.
I've tried to make a more peaceful effect in my workshop
cheers,

Hi Balasubramanian,
I like the simplicity of the composition, which gives it a minimalist approach. The pastel coloring makes it even easier to enjoy. I also like how the lake and the sky almost have the same color tones. Now they look like sailing in infinity.
Cheers,
Deniz
