Beautiful shot. I thought it was taken somewhere in Bangladesh, though there fishermen use black nets.

When I was around Guillin and Yangshuo, I woke up at 5 each morning and walked/biked down to the river, in hopes of catching a scene like this. You did an amazing job, and it's a perfect example of a "decisive moment."

Well-deserved win.
