Thanks, Daniel for the wonderful question, well explained by you, Kal. I'm not going to repeat what I'd said about your beautiful series. I was so captivated by the entire scene time after time that I didn't realise about the purpose of the birds till now. Shame on me, truly. Thanks again guys ;-)

Just so good! This series amazes me. Each image is different, but they've all this dreamy and very aesthetic quality. In this one the shades of grey and the composition, with the reflection, are especially impressive.

The cormorants dive for the fish. They have a string tied around their neck to stop them swallowing it. When they have caught all the fish he wants, he takes off the string and they get to dive for the fish and eat it for themselves...amazing to see. Hope that helps...most common in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces...K

Are these birds helping the man to pick up fish?
or just there to get food from him?
(Never heard of birds being trained for fishing)
Would be nice to have a little story along with your photos.
