Fishing net in Kochi [edit]

A chinese fishing net being used in Kochi, India

I'm not a professional photographer. But, I feel that the setting sun right behind the net and a catamaran right below that all differing in their y and z co-ordinates but not in x looks good. I don't know if the darkness along the bottom right corner can be removed. This appears in Kochi, India. This type of fishing nets has been borrowed from ancient chinese and to this date they're called cheena valla (chinese net in Malayalam language).

  • Nominate and support. - Sundar \talk \contribs 08:57, July 27, 2005 (UTC) I am withdrawing the nomination until I find a larger picture. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 05:20, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • It's very small. Do you have a larger version? Dunc| 14:55, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Unfortunately no. I took this in a non-digital camera and scanned it. Perhaps I should use the negative to print it larger and then scan it. Any other alternative? -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:00, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Beautiful composition, but the small size makes it hard to determine any details. I like the darkness in the lower corners; I think it adds to setting sun. If you can upload a larger version of this, I would gladly support it. — EagleOne\Talk 17:08, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • This is a lovely scene but its much too small and the horizon is clearly sloping. I could not support it without those two things being corrected - Adrian Pingstone 21:43, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Since all comments point to its size, I'll withdraw the nomination until I get a larger picture. Thanks for your comments. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 05:20, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
