EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional fishing in China's Erhai Lake. The image showcases a skilled Cormorant fisherman and his loyal birds, creating a mesmerizing scene against the backdrop of Dali, Yunnan. The fisherman stands tall on his boat, surrounded by the calm waters of the lake as he commands his fleet of cormorants. These magnificent birds are perched gracefully on bamboo rafts, ready to dive into the depths below at their master's command. With their long necks extended and wings spread wide, they epitomize elegance and precision. As dusk settles over the horizon, hues of orange and purple paint the sky above Erhai Lake, casting a magical glow upon this ancient practice.
