[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was late afternoon when I spotted this fisherman on a dugout canoe in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato (in southern Mindanao). With his paddle on his left hand, he was getting ready to leave for home after pulling his nets. I noticed he was able to catch a good number of medium sized tilapia, probably enough for his family's meals the next day.

He made balancing on one end of the canoe looked so easy. I tried it before, as a young lad. I always end up in the water.

Tech:
- Converted to B/W using channel mixer.
- Some dodge and burn to bring out the details
- Resized + USM

Have a nice weekend everyone! Keep it simple :)

How does he do that!! Balanced on the prow of the banca like that, it's unreal! I'd be straight into the water!

Well observed and nicely captured mate, good composition and very nice use of the negative space and natural gradients of the water around your subject.
