Real Life! Very little beats this. The shot take at a place called Nhamabwe just north of Inhassoro and very close to Bazaruto Island. It's still one of the most unspoilt coastlines I know. But... The roads are developing fast, so how much longer is this coastline is going to remain unspoilt? Not only that, there are strong rumours that the investment into the country's roads comes from Asia, and in return, there is an expectation that the Asian trawlers would be able to "trawl" off the Mocambique coast line. This is the very reason people like to go there. The sea life is still very abundant! I only hope it lasts forever...

I have only resized the picture to fit the requirements. Any comments on what could be improved are MOST welcome!

Hi Judy.
A very nice composition. I like that you have kept some of the detail of the fisherman instead of making it a complete silhuette. I noticed that you got a sun flare just to the right of the fishermans knee, I would suggest cloning that out as it does detract from the overall composition.

Regards

Hi Judy, still around like me - occasionally? Last time (a couple of years ago) I remember reviewing another fishing shot of your family. I see you are still capturing fishermen. And what a nice graphic shot this is. I really can't fault it except for that reflection which you could easily have cloned out.

Very nice composition and I actualy like what is described as a sun flare by someone else - it is a real reflection of the sun from the top of the photo. However I can see that it may bother others too. It did not bother me initially until I read the other comment LOL

Thanks for sharing the info as well - Let's hope that this beatiful coast will be preserved for along time to come... so much of the beauty of Africa is disappearing too fast...
