070109 – Jing Ting
Unwanted catch: In a fishing harbour off Yilan, Taiwan, the unwanted fishes are separated from the rest of the catch. These fishes are then disposed into a huge trash.
Photographer’s notes: This scene drew my attention cos the fishes were all strewn on the floor and they were a myriad of colours and species. It was sad cos the prettiest of the marine creatures were also the most useless to fishmongers. It seems that their value will only be truly admired in aquariums or by divers.
Yah, sad story for the unwanted fish. However, the fish seems to be a bit overexposed?
Perhaps it’s my screen but maybe could tone down the exposure a little?
The composition is not bad, just that the photo is abit cluttered. As in, there’s not really a focal point. So could take that into mind when shooting also.

Those are brilliant fishes.
What a waste.
The colors are there. rainbow.
darken the pics and maybe the colors will show.
if not a ‘bit’ of enhancement?
