[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Portuguese]
Pela minha passagem no Rio Zaire avistei varios pescadores, no qual chamou-me a atençao deste barco a vela com varios rasgos, nao resisti em tirar uma foto. Normalmente imagina-se que a agua deve ser azul, mas o maior rio de africa devido as fortes correntes por natureza as suas aguas sao barrentas, que quando entram pelo oceano atlantico chega atingir varios km de distancia com esta cor da foto.

Nice subject but I think that you could enhance it by postprocessing. I did a litlle workshop for showing you what I thought.

I hope you'll like it

That's a very interesting boat, and a great scene... I would enhance the blue tones and increase contrast a bit...

I like the subject but think a closer crop would have worked better. Seemed a bit hazy too, but still overall not a bad picture. I tried my hand at a workshop. I hope you don't mind too much.

With the large dug out canoe and the tattered sail this is a good TE style documentary shot. An informative shot of daily life.

It lacks detail and needs the kind of post processing shown in the Work Shops posted here. It is important to crop the shot first, so that any changes are made while measuring your final photo content. This really needs a cropping to allow the men and canoe to be larger and show better detail.
