el pez grande siempre se come al pequeno, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

"El pez grande siempre se come al pequeсo" means that the big fish always eats the small one. Well, maybe also I should explain that.

However, what is important is the next one: Greece is not in its best moment. The politics and economy are in a poor moment and ever ever ever is the same people who paid the "sins" of the pezzonovante or big shot.

In Spanish languahe, here, you will and interesting article about that. There you will find another articles and also links in another languages.

Regards for all our Greek friends.

Interesting shot. Fine examples of fish shown. Nice vertical frame. Important note included.

pasternak (15185) 2010-01-25 6:17

Yes, there is always one "fish" that is on top of all the other hungry ones... ;)))

Nice catch!:)

Cheers

Hola Carlos
El pescado pobres .. pero me gusta el efecto. El pez ъnico que se trata de una posiciуn diferente es una buena adiciуn a la composiciуn.
El tнtulo: "el pez grande se come al pequeсo .." recuerda de una lнnea en una canciуn de Radiohead.
ЎSalud!
Justin

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ces sardines bien rangйes, bien serrйe et de cette sardine dйsobйissante qui se rebelle et traine de travers.
Beau partage.

Amitiйs Thomas.

Lo primero que me viene a la cabeza: ЎЎMenuda plancha de sardinas asadas !!
De toda la vida es asi y asi sera macho.Pocos peces pequeсos sobreviven al grande para contarlo.
El de arriba se escapa!!!!

barrufeto_77 (28888) 2010-01-25 15:18

Hello Carlos,
Excellent composition, excellent POV, it is very kind of you the concern about economy difficulties in Greece.
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

guitianmiranda (22) 2010-01-26 0:13

Ley de vida... me dan grima los ojos de los peces, representan la muerte y la angustia. En cuanto a la composiciуn, bien vista, me sobran las partes del, supongo que es una caja o bote de pesca, yo hubiera recortado dejando solo peces en la foto.

Saludos Coco.

riclopes (35577) 2010-01-26 2:24

Olб Carlos, superb graphic composition with the fishes. Wonderful effect of repetition, the one out of place breaking the pattern and order. Reminds me a pic of Korkut...Love it.

Cretense (68709) 2010-01-26 2:26

Hola Carlos!

No hay mayor verdad en este mundo, que el titulo de la foto! A ver que pasa aqui en Grecia, Espana o todo el mundo! Muy bella foto, me recuerda de algunas "bromas" entre Korkut y yo!

Un saludo!
Hercules

PD. Intento responder a algunas criticas tuyas pero no puedo "log in" en este nuevo forum que los "genios" construyeron...

carlosmarin (11954) 2010-01-26 4:30

Hola Carlos,
te veo muy trascendente...
bueno, yendo a la foto, aquн no cabe nadie, estбn como sardinas.
en pintura dirнas "una naturaleza muerta"
en fotografнa una composiciуn grбfica con mucho color.... una macro.....
Buena foto para lo que nos quieres decir.
Saludos tocayo

Hola Carlos,

yes, this could be a politician and a demonstration. I like the double meaning.
Good one ! Chris

Charo (51290) 2010-01-26 17:50

Hola Carlos,
No me gusta la tematica, yo tambien hice alguna de pescados muertos, y la verdad es que no me agradan, pero no tiene nada que ver con la composicion y el momento capturado...pobres jureles...ya se que los comemos, pero verlos en fotos...
Un abrazo,
Charo

TopGeo (38220) 2010-01-27 4:06

Hi Carlos! Is good the picture and much bigger your prudent thought for the crisis that this season exists and in Greece but also Europe all Wish it finishes at an early date!
Ciao

Georgios

nszeretlek (1199) 2010-01-27 4:47

La foto es muy intertesante Carlos . Me gusta el ataque al detalle del que tambien se obtienen rasgos caracterнsticos de una cultura y sociedad . Sobre la metбfora , leyendo prensa anglosajona , їSabes como nos clasifican econуmicamente? lo hacen bajo las siglas : paнses PIGS (Portugal , Italy , Greece , Spain)al darse en este grupo unas connotaciones de economнa productiva y de usos de polнtica prбctica corrupta bastante anбlogos . Al final lo paga la gente , como siempre

Muy buena foto , la verdad .

ManuMay (36447) 2010-01-27 8:44

Hola Don Carlos!!

Ja, jaaa!! Una foto muy "salada"!!

Pura crнtica social, como la vida misma!

Buscarй alguna parecida que tengo de Estambul!!

Saludos

Manu

Leconte (5795) 2010-01-27 15:04

Hola Carlos,

my grandmother told me "eat, you do not know who will eat you!"
beautiful illustration of the common preoccupations of the general economic crisis,
These sardines, such arranged, appear to suffer and be hungry, mouths open, and some bloody eyes, raised toward heaven, (this reminds me the painting of Gernica), realistic colors,
fantastic idea,

all the best,
Valйrie.

Ricx (13495) 2010-01-27 15:11

Hi Carlos, an excellent shot.. some wonderful colours in clear and sharp focus.. well done.. Rich

Hola de nou Carlos,
aquesta escena em recorda mйs a qui sempre porta la contrаria, amb el peix amb una posiciу diferent a la dels altres.
Tens raу, perт, amb que el poble paga sempre els "pecats" d'una mala gestiу polнtica, bancаria, etc....
La foto йs senzilla i molt simpаtica.
Salut,
Josep

i always love fish pics and this one can not be missed coco!... they are like soldiers... or like the audience in a rock concert, and the one on top is the singer who has just jumped on them >:DDD... sooo cool carlos!...

cheers

belido (19934) 2010-01-31 8:35

Hola Carlos,

й uma foto de grande impacto visual. Gosto de ver a repetiзгo na disposiзгo dos peixes e o que se diferencia а frente que acaba por ficar como principal ponto focal. Muito boa aproximaзгo, excelente registro!
Un saludo,
Carlos

Hola Carlos
Peces graficos = muy original. Ahora se puede preguntar porque unos tiene ojos rojos y otros de plata.
Bien visto.
Un saludo
Nikki

danos (110407) 2010-02-05 2:38

Ola Carlos,
really the big fish eats the small one! and the golden boys did a savage attack on Greek economy.But as i have read in the newspapers their interest is turn to Spain and Portugal.Never mind we will be survive instant of this extended seasonal slump.They drive us into a corner,as the fishes in the wooden lug box,as your shot show.

Have a nice day,Danos

emjleclercq (15778) 2010-02-05 13:21

So many eyes looking at you... Original composition, with excellent sharpness.

All the best,

Bertrand

Manamo (3710) 2010-02-18 13:47

aw Carlos! this is excellent!! The good focus and the soft bokeh. It's death, but it's beautiful.
I love everything about it...not gonna say much more, except that since you left a bit of the wooden box at the top, I would like to see juuuuust a bit more.
I like your note too...very good link!
have a good day,
Marc

NickPavlakis (562) 2010-03-02 14:26

Hi carlos, good framing, nice colors. I think some fill flash on the right was needed, though.
Regards
Nikos

Nolme (6829) 2010-03-24 12:07

Good evening
Greece knows a real economic collapse. Obviously European aid is not forthcoming. France has also entered the storm.
Your shot reminds me a box of sardines. In Corsica, we have an expression for the time when the Genoese occupied us "Baccala per Corsica. All agricultural products were exported to Genoa, and that they referred us barrels of dried cod "cod for Corsica"
Historically, the big ate the small ...... they remain to sharpen our teeth to turn around and bite them.
Good job

Marie
