Nice image. I really like the colours and light :D

But if that's all they caught, some of them will stay hungry tonight...:wink:

Best regards,
Andy

In fact, those are a group of poor teenager, that make their living selling their catch to the restaurants in the hotels that can be seen in the left corner.
That day their catch was very meager, few and small fish (maybe that's why the young man dcided to hold the fish up like that...who knows?

Great group shot. I find the block of flats in the background a bit distracting.

I think the block of flats is exactly were it should be. :) That's how the photo has even better meaning.
Great photo!

Exactly. The block in the background brings up the social contrast between subjects and the turistic place.

Good photo Freddy.

nice all around -- great as a portrait of people, great as a social commentary, great as a work of art.
