[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish by hooking, trapping, or gathering. By extension, the term fishing is applied to pursuing other aquatic animals such as various types of shellfish, squid, octopus, turtles, frogs, and some edible marine invertebrates. The term fishing is not usually applied to pursuing aquatic mammals such as whales, where the term "whaling" is more appropriate, or to commercial fish farming. Fishing is an ancient and worldwide practice with various techniques and traditions and it has been transformed by modern technological developments. In addition to providing food through harvesting fish, modern fishing is both a recreational and professional sport. According to FAO statistics, the total number of fishermen and fish-farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries provide direct and indirect employment to an estimated 200 million people worldwide.

SHOT AT KOLLAM, ASHTAMUDI LAKE SHORE.
Ashtamudi Lake (Ashtamudi Kayal) is a freshwater lake in the Kollam District of Kerala, India. Ashtamudi means 'eight branches' (Ashta = 'eight'; mudi = 'branch') in the local language of Malayalam. This name is indicative of the lake's topography: a lake with multiple branches.

Ashtamudi Wetland was included in the list of wetlands of international importance, as defined by the Ramsar Convention for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands.

Hola JP,
The technical settings used are more than adequate to provide us a superb vista of a rural scene. The coconut trees, the boat, and the onlookers are highlights. My best regards from Wash D.C.

Nice capture of daily life, good saturation and pov too. TFS

Hi Jean !
excellent capture of the scene and the tropical sunshine here !
Shadows, light and the general exposure are well handled. Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Nice capture here Jean Paul, good saturation and detail, well managed exposure.

Just as a suggestion, the distant shoreline represents a dominant compositional element; if it was properly level / horizontal, the shot would look automatically better.

regards
Rew
