the last basket, a photo from Rakhine, South

Photographer's Note

At Ngpali Beach and many others, the locals lay straw and blue nets on the beach.rnIn the morning they put small fish and crabs to dry on it, and before sunset they are collected again to protect them from dew.rnThe dried goods are bought from traders to produce fish sauce, the salt of Southeast Asia.rnr

Hello Ronny,

I learn everyday something new.
Splendid picture, a pity the face of the young lady has exactly troubles, or maybe the heavy basket.
An excellent composition nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Ronny,
You surprise us with another excellent and very attractive daily life-shot from Myanmar.
Beautiful light and nice constrast between the basket, the plants and the blue nets.
Unfortunately, the country has been in the news again in recent days with the refugees who have run away from the violence in their homeland and have arrived in Thailand.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ron,

I was so delighted to observe the fishermen live in this village. The view of the blue nets with small fish drying on them was something unique. Nice portrait of this young girl with the basket.

Best regards Malgo

Hi Ronny,
Thanks for the note, I had absolutely no idea of what's going on. Blue nets and golden toned straws make a great combination, especially on warm low angle sunshine. Well framed work related portrait.

Excellent portrait of this young woman at (hard) work. Good blue colour scheme to frame the portrait. The woman looks tired and bored (probably with good reason), but I love the resulting picture.

Hi Ronny,
Very interesting note to accompany the great portrait of the working child.
The light was amazing the colors so warm with the nets adding a colder tone for contrast.
Great reportage,
M
