OH I love the way all your subjects are "sun bathing!"

I really love your photo, if I was forced to say something critical, it would be that the bottom of the sunflower wasn't cropped off.

thanks for your interest on my photo"Wanna Swim", smardaz~

some fisherman (Chinese) always sun dry the seafood,if they caught too much or the fish they caught were not valuable enough to make their living, so they will rather sun dry the seafood and keep it for themselves

in this photo the fisherman is sun drying the fishes, probably the fish will used for making porridge.. the sun drying will process about three days under the sun.. and the fishes can be kept for a long time afterwards

its a way of the fisherman living

by the way, i love your photo "wisdom of the cat" the lighting from the side is just lovely

I agree Jason, this is an awesome photo, and a beautiful pet portrait. I'm honored that indirectly I was able to give you a tip that helped you to create such a gorgeous photo. The light and shadows are so artistic and beautiful. And of course, I love how you filled the frame :)

Way to go!!!
