Incredible masterpiece from the master of lights!!! You are my hero!:D

Richard Calmes		28-Jul-2006 00:24
This is a killer shot! Perfect exposure and composition! V

Marisa Livet		27-Jul-2006 16:53
I prefer this version for the splash of pink, which gives a softer atmosphere, it's a very fascinating image, capturing it against the light was a wonderful idea. Marisa

Ray Rebortira		27-Jul-2006 03:22
As poetic as a haiku and as elegant. Bravo Kal!!!

scott clarke		27-Jul-2006 02:59
Back to this again. I would like to see it in B&W as well.

Yi Feng		27-Jul-2006 02:59
Beautiful backlight! Great composition!

It is magic. Like part of an illustrated bedtime book of stories for children. He paddles very slowly, almost silently and respectfully to avoid upsetting the mountain spirits.

Robbie D70		26-Jul-2006 20:22
Fantastic !so much from so simple.GMV

Guest		26-Jul-2006 17:52
One of your absolute best shots. Genius

Rob Rosetti		26-Jul-2006 17:52
It seems this shot comes from another age, when things was more simple. Outstnding atmosphere and soft colors. Excellent Kal! Roberto

Phil Douglis		26-Jul-2006 17:37
Ah, the Li River -- you have done it justice, Kal. Instead of dwelling on the spectacular scenery, you give us an iconic image of a fisherman at work. It is nice to know that some aspects of China will never change -- this is an image that could well have been made 50 or 60 years ago, yet its date says 2006. It is, as others have already implied, the degree of abstraction that makes this image enter the imagination. You leave it to us to make of him what we will.

Bill Harris		26-Jul-2006 16:17
I can't add to the below Kal. Superb.

Silvia Roitman		26-Jul-2006 15:46
excellent picture!bravo!!

JSWaters		26-Jul-2006 15:41
It's almost like an image from a dream. The fisherman poles his way to the misty mountains, leaving a golden and glowing trail behind him. I wonder if in his hard work day, he ever stops to ponder how beautiful his surroundings sometimes are. Jenene

I simply freezed when I clicked on the thumbnail. I was afraid that any single move would ruin the perfect scene and the mixed bag of feelings it's giving me. To me, it's a truly amazing picture. The mood, the abstraction, the slice of light, the distorted reflection, ... very well thought and executed. Huge vote. (And thanks, Kal for your kind message. I'm looking forward to tomorrow... :-))

Guest		26-Jul-2006 14:29
Yes... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! What can I say more?

Ana Carloto O'Shea		26-Jul-2006 14:23
Well... I think I am just going to say "So beautiful" and get away with it :))

Guest		26-Jul-2006 13:55
Beautiful shot, I could see that hanging on my wall

Guest		26-Jul-2006 13:13
As a leaf paddling upon across a twilight mirror of slumbers.Caught in a deja vu dream somewhere between the pages of day and night.In a moment of purpose and peace.

Herb		26-Jul-2006 13:07
Nice image

Guest		26-Jul-2006 13:02
Wow, only one thing to say: WOW!

Excellent this exposure, love it very much. V

scott clarke		26-Jul-2006 12:25
For me one of your best Kal.

david procter		26-Jul-2006 12:12
I think you've captured this fisherman (and his bird) perfectly in his element going about what he was born to do as his father and his father's father did before him. Symbiosis is incredible in nature and in this modern age rare between man and beast. Wonderful image Kal.

Guest		26-Jul-2006 11:57
Magnificent work Kal, I love the reflecxtion and the great silhouette

Guest		26-Jul-2006 11:00

Guest		26-Jul-2006 10:30

Manas Khan		26-Jul-2006 10:10
