Collection: China
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Yangtze, China
Date: Oct 11, 2008

 this is one of many photos I took while on a 2-week trip to China

This photo is taken just above the Three Gorges Dam (you can see an edge of it in the background as a straight horizontal line above the water), apparently fish is trapped there, and that attracts many small fishing boats like this one.

Got an 8 from me and I came back to appreciate. I took a long boat trip from Wuhan up the Changjiang to Chongqing in the early 80s. Before modernization. Have you ever read A Single Pebble by John Hersey?

the complexity of the background, the layers of land that seem to reach the sky, the outstanding focus of the silhouetted fishermen - very good work

I love the way you've composed this so that the fisherman is dwarfed by his surroundings - lovely :)
