[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Everyday millions of people commute on the River Nile. Here are some of the things that happen everyday on the Nile.

The ancient sailing vessells of the Nile are still used today.

Why not try sailing down this fertile valley of one of these ancient sailing vessels. pulling in to the bank to visit some of the smaller temples that the cruise boats cannot get near.

I would have moved over to the left so that the mast framed the pic on the left side that would have also opened up the pic so that the arm wasn't covering the face... showing the face would have added an intensity to the pic/ drawn the viewer in...

Original composition, works very well. I like how the man is standing in the triangle formed by the mast and the sail. One can feel the one-thousand-times-repeated action on the untroubled water... Very good pic.

Tiene mucha fuerza esta foto, Ignacio. Es una lástima que no se alcance a ver el rostro del marinero. Aun así es muy bonita y me sirve para revivir la experiencia: Yo también descendí un trozo del Nilo faluca. No estuvo mal. Muy plácido. Enhorabuena desde Madrid.
