THe birds on the boat render the scene quite unreal, as if straight out of a fairy tale. Very original. Congrats.

Excellent. Could you tell us a story about the birds ?

This is an amazing image - captures all imagination. What are the birds doing there? Please tell the story behind this - can't wait to hear that

First off great photo

Regarding the birds if memory serves, They are used for fishing they are tethered to the boat and have a tight fitting ring around the throat as not to allow them to swallow the fish

Great photo. I have seen other photos of these fishermen, but yours is in a class of its own. Great work.

wow, this is an awesome photo. If he's using the birds to help him catch the fish, what did he use to help him catch the birds?

Lovely image, would love to go there one day.

Excellent...

Stunning. Regarding the birds, yes they are used for fishing and are tied to the boat so they can't get away. Great picture. Can I ask what camera and lens you used to take this picture?
