Soupsoup .....

This aboriginal lady was throwing the net with great skill. She told me later she learned to throw it in seven different ways. She told me she was 60 years old and has 4 great grand children. Her name was Sofia but her family nicknamed her Soupsoup or sometimes Grumpy Granny.

great shot, really does convey the effort of the woman and the native setting.

I like the movement in this one we can almost feel the effort of the woman, the line of the body with the fish net, bravo!
