Howdy,
From Guilin we had a boat trip on the Li-river to Yangsuo, one of the most famous cities along the river in the Karst Mountains.
The trip was amazing. We had rain the night before and the weather didn't look very promissing, but as we went along the sun came out and we had lots of beautiful views on the mountains and the river.
As we docked in Yangshuo there was an old fisher man there showing his cormorants.

These birds are used for fishing in the river.
They have a piece of string around their neck so that they cannot swallow the "larger" fish. They bring these fish back to the raft for the fisherman.
It takes about 3 years to train the birds, so they are very dear and valuable.

I cropped just the head of the bird off, but in fact I had the whole bird in the picture.
Added some saturation and a little sharpness...

Enjoy!
Anneke

Hoi Ennie,
Yeah, I made a trip on a (very small) boat at Lake Erhai (Dali) with these cormorants fishers. This are amazing birds, very well captured by you, no disturbing background or whatsoever. The sharp focus is on the birds head. Fine capture perfectly framed although I wouldn't have put my name into the image itself, but in the frame.
But anyway,TFS this nice photo!
Hans

Hello Anneke,
I just love this shot. You have achieved such sharpness, detail and colours. For me, the border is too heavy and locks in the beautiful bird, but still a fine shot.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Anneke,
Wonderful portrait of this bird with nice colorful eyes. Very sharp and clear shot.


Best Regards,
Alex

Goodness me Anneke jhe has really frightening eyes.

Superb capture though wonderful POV. Congrats on posting your 200th image too.

TSF regards Helen

JAAAAA, 200 !! Mooi An.. ik nmaak een fles open( stuur je de rekening ) en drinken op je gezondheid .
Ik lees over de vis- vogels.. heb dat vaak gezien in Discovery Channel .. heel apart, Fijn weekend and 'gruten'
John

Fijn om een foto van zo dichtbij te hebben. Deze vismethode is geweldig gevonden al zal het niet zo fijn zijn voor de vogels zelf...
De meeste foto's van deze vogels worden getrokken al werkend op de boot. Dit is een totaal ander zicht en zeer fijn om te zien.

Hi Anneke,
Excellent colour and details of this beautiful bird (fisherman).Good shot and light.Well done.TFS.
Greetings.

Superb Anneke, amazing detail and colours well presented.

In een reportage heb ik al eens gezien hoe die vis vangen !

Een mooie getrainde visser - een heel bijzonder verhaal Anneke - onvoorstelbaar eigenlijk.
Moest even glimlachen toen je zei I cropped the head off - klinkt wel een beetje geweldadig....
TFS alweer een stukje China, dat voor mij geheel onbekend is.

HAHAHA! A shocking face! Excellent sharpness, you caught him in a panic! Very nice shot here Anneke! B-)
Linda
I'll be back............

Super colours on this detailed close up shot, first class.

A beautiful portrait of this unusual bird, Anneke!
Great sharpness, nice blured green in the bg that makes the eyes stand out, fantastic supprised "expression":)

very well done, thank you for posting it, Karina:)

Hello Anneke,
So this is what #200 looks like!
Beautiful bird, superb close-up!
Good portrait qualities and wonderful details in the plumage...
Amazing what birds can be trained to do!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

Zo zeg, wat heb je deze goed vastgelegd ! Ragscherp, mooie kleuren en belichting, mooi los vd achtergrond, etc.! En nog interessant ook. :-)
Zielig voor die vogels, dat wel, maar de kleine visjes kunnen ze zelf eten begrijp ik.
Complimenten.
groeten,
Joop!

Hola Anneke.
Un retrato perfecto, equilibrado con una iluminación fantástica.
Nota estupenda.
TFS, JL.

Hi Anneke,

Superb image. Very sharp and high clarity. I only able to read the story about this bird. Very well done.

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Hi Annke,
Dit had ik ook graag gezien
Mooie foto natuurlijk en oooh zo scherp
Maar een mens kan niet alles hebben

Great details, especially around the eye! I like the portrait style rather than the whole body shot as this definately focuses attention on the head. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing
Mark
