Crabs in Khao Seng Photo

Photographer’s Note

This lovely small Thai Muslim fishing village Khao Seng is at the outskirt of the provincial capital Songkhla in Southern Thailand. The crabs they can catch here are relatively big and sell from 9 USD/kg. In the wet market it will be more expensive, you may have to add another 2 USD.

Fishery is an important part of the Thai economy, because the kingdom is exporting shrimps and prawns to Western Europe, while fishes are exporting to neighboring countries, in particular Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Zdravo, kod nas je poceo po malo sneg.
Ima riba u mrezi, dosta skupo.
Pravi trenutak ove lepe fotografije i dobrih boja.
Sve najbolje, lep dan, Paja.

ciao Urs,
mi piace l'espressione attenta del pescatore mentre libera il pescedalla rete.
Ritratto intenso che mostra anche la sua manualità.
ottima composizione.
buona giornata
maurizio

Hello Urs,

This is a fine portrait of the man at work, a pleasant slice of life!
Composition is well balanced and leads my eyes nicely through the frame, the cases in the back set the mood without being too intrusive...
Good colours and sharp fine details!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Urs: Very good close crop of this fisherman holding this common crab around here in fine details. The net is rather messy in isolating the crab and the shot clearly depicts the situation. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Olá Urs, this is the kind of photos I like more from you. A good close approach to a daily life scene. I can see how hot and humid must be from the sweat falling down his face. Excellent framing, nice detail from the crab on his hands. You use the flash a lot. I couldn't tell it was used here. Well done.
friendly regards,
ricardo
