Description


I had always wanted to see the stilt fishermen in Sri Lanka so we got a tuk tuk early evening time to visit them. It was really great to see but I was a little disappointed with the lighting because the light was illuminating their backs and not their faces. I was not really inclined to wade out in the water and ask them to face the other way!!!! Anyway, this is not the most brilliant photo I have ever taken because of the lighting situation but I thought you might like to see something not often seen anymore. Have a great Wednesday and thank you all so much for your kind comments on my last upload. Hugs Eileen xx

It's a beautiful shot! The light may not be on his face, but it's really nice how it lights up the incoming waves.

Everybody else has said it. This is an excellent pic. The backlighting is not a problem. I love your pics of Sri Lankan working people!

I like the lighting very much. It adds a magical feel and it is certainly a facinating photo.
