The Poachers.
This day I've been riding on my bycicle around local lakes and came across these two poachers. It is prohibited here to fish with a net. The man on the right saw me and closed his face with a hand saing to another one that they were taken a shot. The second man looked at me (I made a shot at this moment) and asked if I were an inspector. After my answer they calmed and let me go.

I love this piece of social documentary. The clandestine nature of the situation really shines through.
Great work!

WOW! Who would have thought that photography was dangerous. I am glad you got the shot because it is a great photo and tells the story very well.

[Tessa]

Great shot and very interesting story to go with it.

[Yvonne]

CAUGHT!
wow. great story.
i wonder if they were trully hungry? or not?

[Anatoly]

@yvnn - Well, Yvonne. I do not think they were hungry. Have a look at their equipment - it is rather expensive. May be this is their way of life. Who knows! Perhaps.

Great shot! I'm afraid I would not have had the nerve...they look like a couple of rough customers..

[Anatoly]

@drewhuy - Thank you for your attention. In this case a good diplomacy is kind words and, certainly, large smile. This was my weapon, though our poachers are not so blood-thirsty I think... May be I am wrong...

[Lisa]

I love this! Stay safe!
