Chinese Fishing Nets, a photo from Kerala, South

Photographer's Note

Chinese fishing nets along the bay of Kochin. This is an old method of fishing. Fishermen lay the nets into the water, wait for a while, and raise them again with the fish. A lot of manpower is required for the hard job, but lately there are not so many fish in the water.

The endless repetition of shapes from this fishing nets, set aigainst a brooding sky is quite pleasant. There is a certain calmness about this composition that makes it nice to look at.
Have a great evening

Hi Yirzhak
When I look at Photographs on TE and also on other Photo Blogs, there's a trend like this, it doesn't matter how good a Photographer you are, but it pays to be good at Post Processing :)
There's almost an identical image of the Fishing net on TE with great looking colours and lots of points, your POV is close to that and the EXIF although not exactly same is close nonetheless.
The difference is that I find your image Natural and his has been given a superb Post Processing.
I've posted a simple workshop with the tones changed, but couldn't do anything about the DOF since you've used a shallow one, I think a DOF of 8 to 11 would have kept that ship in focus too. Anyway, good luck.

Cheers, Blue
