Magnifique

für mich das Beste Foto, das ich hier bei Ipernity gesehen habe

Danke

Well, I am not really decided if that is a tradition or an animal cruelty. In China it's not rarely intertwined.

Momore.

I am afraid, I do not understand. Perhaps, I should explain myself that the photo seems fantastic, however I feel that we should not only discuss the technical quality but also issues the values and feelings.

I got no impression that the cormorants were ill-used. They seemed well-fed and happy to do what were trained to do. The fish have more reason to complain than they have.

wonderful!

Fantastic! A photo that tells a story...

really awsome pic!
love it

Excellent.

I've received notifications from Ipernity that Isisbridge has added this (and other pictures) to "their" favourites. You must be more than one person. How strange.

I am at least three different people of varying ages.

This has got to be your best shot ever, but I don't think I added it to my or their favourites,
as I try to keep my front page as English-looking as possible.

It's a good one but anyone there with a bridge camera or smartphone would have got a similar picture. Today 99% of the cormorant "fishermen" don't fish; they just go through the motions - paddling the reed boats around and throwing nets - for the benefit of paying tourists; they're no more genuine than Morris dancers and beefeeters are in the UK . Hence there are a million similar pictures, some taken under better lighting and luck with timing and are much better than this.

Doesn't matter. You've caught a wonderfully atmospheric background. Or is it Shepperton?
