Description local fisherman at work, cochin, south india
background: cochin harbour

i couldnt help noticing the contrast between the simple way of life of the fisherman and the sophisticated machinery in the background. hence the title

BIG UPS.
This photo works so well; I think your look on things is how I would like mine to be, juxtaposition/contrasts that sort of thing.
Congrats on the DD too

I love how you focus in on the fisherman but at the same time my attention is drawn to the machines in the background.

I would definietly consider buying this. It would go right above my bed in my room. This is an amazing picture. Not to mention that black and white photos are my favorite.

This is one of the best contrast I have ever seen. I love it. The contrast between the traditional looking boatman and the brutal modern cranes is beauiftul. Well done on the Daily Dev.

Two critisms, one is the distacting dark things in the water, the other is the fact that you crop one of the cranes out at the top. Still I love this piece, beauitful 9.99/10.

sananda [2006-01-16 00:53:57 +0000 UTC]

Advanced Critique? Are you encouraging me? Well.. you asked for it.

Maybe the entire machinery (the fifth from your right to your left) could be in the picture, but that doesnt matter. Maybe the white border could be a little more thing, but that doesnt matter either.

Its a great photograph. I like the way you presented it.
Congratulations!

Not the most original idea behind the picture, but as the teacher said, "There is nothing new under the sun." Even so, these "old world, new world" photos are a type I've always liked, and I liked this one. This is a picture that was probably best done black and white. It adds to the sort of sad feeling one gets when one looks at it. The man in the boat seems to tiny and helpless.

it's good, and i enjoy it. Good contrast, and keeping the machines blurry makes the viewer look closely. well done...

The future looks so monstruous. This is one of the greatest contrast photographs I've seen in a while. Technically it is very well executed too. Brilliant with no doubt.

Your use of pattern in this piece is incredible!!!! I love the composition of it! All the values are amazing (it could use more highlights...just a thought) this piece really moved me and brought me to tears! I can’t wait to see more!!! Please continue with this talent!!!

Awesome photo, but i dislike the blurry background. If you ddint mention in the space above that machinery, it would be hard to meka out... Otherwise, great photo!
