Lovely place, a photo from Zanzibar, East

Photographer's Note

to just lie and relax on this wonderful island and feel the wind caress your skin..
I usually get a little restless sometimes, and cure it by taking a walk to see what is further away.
This time, I saw a small fishing camp with a few boats..

Hi Boa,

Tanzania must be a very beautiful country with all that blue and white, I can understand that resting there on the beach is the best medicin for your health.
Besides taking good pictures :-)))

Hello Boa,

Zanzibar seems to be really a dream island with such lightning and colors.
I particular appreciate the framing with the anchor just in the frame as well the top of the boat.

Hello Boa,

Oh, this makes me wish for summer, and holidays!
I must say, this is a superbly composed shot, from the lead-in of the anchor line to the wonderful diagonal between the sand and the sea.
The main image is perfectly placed in shot, the person gives scale and, perhaps, a storyline, and the colours ... fabulous.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

I like this scene. The place looks very pretty. The old fish boat and the man there was good there.

Hej Boa,
A pretty good capture of what looks very much like paradise. You found a fine POV and handled the difficult light very well. It's a perfectly exposed picture with crystal clear sharpness.
On the east coast of Zanzibar in 1995 I discovered for the first time the pleasure of doing nothing at all, just spending the days walking along the beach, looking for colourful seashells, returning to my little hotel for lunch or a beer. That was a new experience to me.
Ha det gott,
Gert

Hi Boa
Stunning shot, wonderful composition. The shades of blue fading to the white sand. I like that you included the anchor and it is placed just right. Great sky with the clouds drifting off the side. Congratulations.
Cheers
Jude

Hello Boa, I choose this picture to give points because light handling is perfect, not easy to get this colours and contrast in this extra sunny atmosphere, of course POV and composition is also really interesting.

Best regards.
