taxi of the sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

still at the "île aux nattes" ( little piece of land at the south of sainte marie).
unfortunately we are not the only vazahas (europeans), it's quite touristic( for madagascar, it's not the "côte d'azur" thankfully!), with postcard landscapes.
as usual, i prefer to focus on the pirogues, these little boats symbols of insular life.

Hi Amalia, I love the overwhelming blue tones, as well as the subject. It looks like a real tropical paradise. I also like how you've positioned the pirogue slightly off-centre, it brings a nice balance to the image. The outline of the boat could have been sharper though. Why not define it more with photoshop? Good shot anyway.
Regards,
Ryno

Hi Amalia
thank you for this sunray (here it is grey and stormy!). I like the different blue tones, and the position of the "taxi" in the frame. Appenrently, they have no motor;
Congratulations

Hello Amalia,

You captured enviable lights there. The blue tones and shining water surface are helping perfectly for fantastic silhouettes of sea taxi and its passengers. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

bonjour Amalia

cela commençait à faire un long moment que nous n'avions aucune photo nouvelle de toi.
merci pour cette composition horizontale sobre et élégante, quasi épurée avec ce qu'il faut de dynamique oblique/verticale apportée par le piroguier et sa "perche".

Bonsoir Amalia,
oh la belle bleue, ou plutôt les beaux bleus, contrastés. Dommage qu'il y ait un peu de moutonnement dans le ciel, mais avec ces conditions de luminosité difficile de faire autrement.
Belle silhouette de la pirogue et de ses occupants.

Bonsoir Amalia,

Du bleu rien que du bleu et des ombres qui passent!
c'est beau c'est calme c'est apaisant et ça remue des souvenirs pas possibles...
alors merci!

Hi Amalia,
Very nice light and blue tones. I like the contrast with the silhouettes of the boat passengers.
