[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another come back to my dear Mali...there are still a lot of picture of this travel, and when I take a look always I found some funny, interesting or coloured pictures. Good remembers of a quiet and exiting travel. Nature and human contact are strongs, it's impossible to not feel strong feellings. The smell, the colours, the temperature, the sounds,...all are great contrasts about our commont live in occident. You go there,...but you don't come back completely. Only a part of you can come back,...the other will rest there with all this strongs feellings.

I like this picture specially for the inner frame with the pyrogue and the wood of the sailor. Also colours,...this special soft colours due to the intense light sun.

The quality of the sharpness is not enought good, it's due to the scanning...but I hope you will enjoi yourself.

Salut Javier,
Tu as choisi une perspective originale qui fait "s'encastrer" les pirogues.
Amitiés

Un très beau jeu de lignes, dans celle-ci. Avec le 'conducteur' superbement situé, et son bâton qui tranche avec les horizontales. J'aime beaucoup

Hola Xavi,
el que més m'agrada i crida l'atenció és el magnífic treball de camp i l'excel.lent composició.

Salut, Jordi

An interesting shot. I really like the long slender boats that these people have. Nicely composed. You kept the vertical line of the pole away from the larger boat.

Hola Javier! Si es que con esas notas que escribes ya no nos dejas nada para decir a nosotros! Me encanta cómo has encuadrado la foto :-) Es de sobresaliente. Los colores, como en toda tu serie de Mali, muy relajantes y "terrenos". El contraste puede que sea un pelín demasiado, pero aún así me encantan los tonos. Quizá el azul de la canoa del primer plano distraiga un poco...
Buen trabajo, y buena nota llena de sentimientos :-)
Un abrazo y hasta pronto,
Inés
