Morning catch, a photo from Shan, North

Photographer's Note

There may be thousand shots of this well-known place, Inle Lake then needless to say much about it.
The lake is nearly 100 km North to South but only 5 km wide and there are more than 200 villages on or around.The lake's most unusual feature is its extraordinary "one-legged fishermen", who have developed an original, eccentric method of rowing with one leg, leaving their hands free to drop their tall conical nets over passing fish, which they can spot in the shallow lake.

Hi Tan,
This is a really beautiful, well composed shot. Your composition is perfect and very informative on culture of this area. Also, supurb color, contrast and sharpness.

Hello Tan.
I very much like the beautiful colours and luminosity of this photo. It's a well timed capture, with excellent light, shade and sharpness delineating the fisherman. Perhaps I would have cropped it to raise the horizon a little, removing a little off left and right to preserve the proportions. But a lovely photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Tan,
This image has a sense of peacefulness and calm.....I think it's the very natural view of the lake.....just the local fishermen busy with their craft. The clarity in the photo is superb, and the slightly rippled reflection of the man and boat adds more interest. Very well captured.
Cheers Grant

Hello Tan,

Your well taken photo is very attractive since its thumbnail size especially with its clarity and sharpness. I Liked amazing reflections and fisherman's natural movement front of fantastic sight at background. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
