Artist's Comments

Hong Kong's usually a very busy place - people are 5-6 deep on the sidewalks, and everyone's in a rush to go somewhere. So, with that in mind, it was a relieve for me to see this person fishing by the convention center's harbor walk - it provides a good contrast to everyday Hong Kong life.

Fisherman by =hya
"Now and again, you come across a shot that have so many assets collaborating with each other that pointing them out would almost become a form of stating the obvious. I think the impression transcends the verbal argument. And while that may be considered as brute force implying that the shot lacks symbolism or reference, it also implies that it is overpowering."

art is so much more than the product created
- it's about the process of the creation.

Its awesome. The buildings in the mist are little bit frightening, but it very nice. Fisherman gives to this dramatic pic peace ad quiet. Nice.

looks so peaceful in such a busy city. I love it, especially the sense of mystery provided by the mist in the distance. a lovely pic.
