Catch, a photo from Kerala, Sud

Photographer's Note

These Chinese fishing nets from Kerala are a bit of a photo cliche but I think they're beautiful and I don't see that many shots on TE. As everyone probably knows, these are said to have been brought to the region by Chinese traders in the 14th century. This was taken from a boat.

Wonderful photo. Love the colors and the silhouttes.

Zanni (6108) 2005-05-27 10:21

Splendid composition, beautiful colors and perfect exposure. The fishing nets seem to form a defensive system against the invaders coming from the water.

lcask (591) 2005-05-27 10:21

Your composition of fishing nets in row with a sunset is both romantic and sci-fi.

jafadabret (56501) 2005-05-27 10:24

Beaucoup de grâce et de légèreté sont donnés par ces filets. Le soleil couchant donne,lui, un fond des plus colorés. C'est un très beau cliché.

Superb picture with great colours and a good framing. I love the way you captured the silhouette of these nets with the backlight. Thanks for sharing

Hi K L
A good catch indeed. Those nets and the sun and soft sky behind it and the compo are very good. Well captured, greetings Albrecht

very nice composition. Love the placing of the sun.

oochappan (4880) 2005-05-27 11:53

Indeed a good catch this sunset. Who else can know better than you that these are Chinese fishing nets :).
An incredible good worked out scan, colors are just perfect even the slight induced color of the scan-lamp works here perfect. No grains sharp to the edge.
Simply a perfect photo all the way in colors and compo with the nets on the side and the sun low shining through them.
Congratulations K L or what's your first name ?
Greetings Henk
You are doing well !

a classical view of the Kochi chinese nets..very well done. I love Cochin.. I really love to wander around the small streets of the old city.. A nice city to rest when one has been travelling for a while..

bnallama (3763) 2005-05-31 10:26

Lovely shot with great light and POV. Bala

amol (952) 2005-07-20 5:20

hi Che
a beautiful composition... with lovely colours n good framing... just wondering that if you had you captured it from a bit left then the sun would have been out of the nets...

gelor (3233) 2005-08-06 15:46

Très belle photo, bien composée aux couleurs agréablement chaudes. Du bon travail. Merci.

IanSewell (579) 2005-08-09 4:38

Beautiful photo - your best. Excellent light, great subject, nice diagonal lines.. wow. Well done.

lakshmi (577) 2005-08-29 13:42

I like the repetition and perspective here. All nets disappearing into the sunset. Lovely silhouettes I must add. Wonderful pictures just like so many otehrs in your gallery.TFS

ydarias (679) 2005-09-06 12:30

Hello moxon. A fantastic photo, the composition and the illumination are impresionant. The colors are incredible and the hour of the day is one of the best ones. Only that spoils a little the final quality of the photo is the electronic noise, to my has often happened. But months ago I discovered the program Neat Image and is enough util, to clear the noise produced by the electronic sensor or scanner. In any case the photo is brilliant, deserves more than two points.

Yeray.

P.S: I posted your photo with a Neat Image treatment, I hope you like it.
