Strange world, a photo from Para, North

Photographer's Note

What more it frightened me at this moment, it was the great curiosity that this fish caused in the fishing and the local inhabitants. It was the first time that I saw paddles so great, but curiously seems that it was the first time of them also...

______________________________________________________

O que mais me espantou nesse momento, foi a grande curiosidade que esse peixe despertou nos pescadores e nos moradores locais. Foi a primeira vez que eu vi nadadeiras tão grandes, mas curiosamente parece que era a primeira vez deles também...

Thanks for visits and criticizes.

Boa noite Antonio,

This is an excelent daily life shot! The expression of the fishermen trying to find out what kind of "bicho" they got, is simply fantastic!

The colors, contrast and exposure look great.

By the way... the only similar "thing" I saw in my life (at least, with huge paddles) were flying fish.

Parabéms e obrigado por compartilhar!
Un abrazo,
Carlos

your capture of the fishermen's facial expression is great, curiosity written all over, what kind of fish is this do you know, and is it edible?

A good photojournalism type photo. This is a very strange fish but it looks somehow familiar, maybe a catfish of some sort?

Your portfolio is amazing; the colors are spectacular and your compositions are wonderful. TFS!

Oi Antonio... eu tb acho k que nunca tinha visto nada igual. Coitado o peixe a ser examinado assim. Na verdade a natureza surpreende sempre. Gostei teu ponto de vista, representa muito bem a nota. E como sempre um ótimo dof. Fica bem, Gabriel

Será que era um peixe voador? Bem interessante e o melhor de tudo é que resultou um bom portrait. Definição, cores, contraste e profundidade.
