I skipped this photo at first glance, but it came up again and I took time to really look and read the description. And WOW... it is fantastic. The photo speaks a million words! The delicate art of fishing is truly displayed in your photo. I love this... it further teaches me not to judge a book by its cover. I have much to learn :) thank you for sharing this and thank you for the warm welcome!

I love your travel logs. This is a totally fascinating script of a society many of us will never share in. The scene is captured well and I love the reflection of the fisherman as he works. It looks like a hazy day which is great for fishing.

I like the ease in which these people seem to live their life with little or no complaint, and put food on the table for their families. The over all look of your photograph shows high quality skills and work in a very pastoral mode of cool blues and grays. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

A great shot that shows both the unusual technique in propelling the boat but also the conical net they use to catch the fish. A well composed shot with fine colors and a nice reflection.

Very interesting story backed by an equally fine picture. The light and the composition have worked well and you have caught the fisherman in action very well. Good effort.

Fred,
A beautiful & interesting picture of the Burmese Fisherman propelling his boat using his left hand & leg to oar the boat while he stands on his right leg & holding on the conical fish net with his right hand behind him. His reflection & the sky above both reflected on the lake's glistening surface. The lake is framed by the trees growing along it's shores & the misty mountains behind them. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

A very good and interesting image posted here! Your fine and classical composition grants us a good look at that very odd-looking boating style. I am surprised it is still going on! Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!
