    Truly spectacular and beautiful–an exotic scene that must be seen to be believed–you absolutely captured the essence of China in this photograph! This image is absolutely timeless!

  2. Nicola Nicola Says:

    What a great image. I love the look on the fisherman’s face, the way the cormorant is spreading its wings as if just waking up, and the clearly-defined red line across its back as it does so. All making a great overall composition with the red light - is that natural? I’m not a photographer but photos like this make me want to be.

  3. Eileen Eileen Says:

    That is quite the shot. Wild! EZ

  11. realimage Says:

    Nice shot, but getting the cormoran to do his job is in my eyes harder.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Dear Mr Anderson
    at first sight your photo it seems a great shot but I can not recognize any right shadows of objects… is it an original work of photoshop reconstruction?

  13. ChrisB ChrisB Says:

    Just one of those magic moments. All that subtle variation of light is so impacting.

  14. juan pablo Baliña juan pablo Baliña Says:

    Excelente trabajo, me gusta mucho. Me pregunto si no estará demasiado trabajada en Photoshop. Saludos desde Buenos Aires. Juan Pablo

  15. planet lover Says:

    Very beautiful scene. Hard work, though.

  16. Dennis Says:

    Classic shot with a nicely staged composition. Beautiful work.

  17. Jasper Says:

    Well played Sir! Well played!

  18. Wayne Says:

    I saw 3 Wireless TT Flash (from the lamp reflection)???

    Anyway this is a wonderful piece of photo work.

  19. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    If this is for real, it’s fantastic!

  20. A. Celeste Hardester Says:

    What a wonderful image to capture. The tones and composition are lovely. I would love it if this was actually a scene you saw and captured. It just doesn’t quite look that way, and so if it’s real, maybe you could have left some imperfection. There’s such a thing as too much of a good thing with Photoshop.

  21. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    This is a lovely photo of a not often seen subject excellently treated. I love the colors.

  22. TomBrooklyn Says:

    Amazing boat design. Never seen that before. The bird is a nice touch. Well composed photo.

  23. Lakshmi Lakshmi Says:

    Timeless indeed! Really well managed light and wonderfully composed.

  24. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    what a wonderful composition. all seems to be in place the lantern the bamboo the large bird. wow and the suns light has been well managed.

  25. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Gerat work! Very nicely composed, great use of the wide angle lens, Perfect timing.
    The trio of the petromax the bird and the fisherman creat an almost “Treasure Island” like atmosphere.

  26. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Oops! Please forgive the typos. :-(

  27. Courtney Platt Says:

    Pure magic! Miraculous light! This is genius.

  28. Courtney Platt Says:

    P.S.

    If Ansel Adams were alive today, this is the kind of work he’d be doing with the digital lightroom tools that have taken the place of his dodge and burn tools (on steroids). He would love this!

  29. Sue Gagnon Says:

    Timeless is TIMELESS! Beautiful photograph!

  30. poster boy poster boy Says:

    Top drawer!

  31. Ellie Ellie Says:

    Oh my, I can almost see the lantern slightly swinging with the movement of the water.
    Amazing capture and post processing skill excellent.

  32. Jacob Maentz Jacob Maentz Says:

    Beautiful image! Makes me feel like I am there…and I wish I was there.

  33. Laurie Laurie Says:

    Fascinating! With the upcoming Olympics, a photo from China is perfect!
