Fishing the Clouds, a photo from Kandal, West

Photographer's Note

Many people in rural areas of Cambodia consume fish as their daily nutrition. Some of the technique used to capture the fish include net-fishing. It is done day by day that is just enough for the consumption of the family for the day.

Hello Sothy,
A very interesting POV makes me wonder where you managed to position yourself to get this angle. It a nice shot, timed really well. However I feel that you could have cropped the upper part a bit as those tree shadows are not adding much to this frame, a bit distracting for me. Hence I took the liberty to modify and add the same in workshop.
TFS & WR,

Hi Sothy!
Good to see you have posted today:)!Good pov here! I like the reflection of the sky on the water, as well as the pattern formed by the net on the water. Good sense of movement, sharpness and colours!

Hi Sothy,

Fantastic capture !!
The timing of click is wonderful.
Is it the framing or the light or the tones that attract the viewer? They all compliment !!
Great shot.

Hi Sothy
Superb catch (hoping the same applies for the fisherman!!!) Your high POV and the drastic off centering work perfectly to convey your idea.
I think the effect may be stronger without the bits of trees on the top.
Friendly greetings
Laurent

Hello, Sothy!

Very interesting picture, with a very interesting title! A different inclination, but in this case it's really fine to show the fisher in a vertical position. Very good job!

Soksabai Sothy,

Very cool shot, perfect moment and the fishing net touch down on the lake creating a splash. I like the reflection of the sky on the Lake, it give the illusion of him throwing fishing net into the sky :)

Way
