Karabane Island on the beach Photo

Photographer’s Note

Karabane Island
This is the Casamance river at 1 km of the Atlantic ocean (behind me) where it's possible to see dolphins. Near the trees, some bungalows with a very nice view.
In the other side, a fishers town full of sharks meet ready to be exported to China and Japan.

Ile de Karabane
Fleuve Casamance a 1km de l'ocean Atlantique (derrière moi). Ici on peut croiser des dauphins qui chassent et jouent devant vous. Aux pieds des palmiers, les bungalows d'Elena avec leurs vues imprenables.
En face une île de pecheur ou des morceaux de requins sont entassés pour être exporté en China e ou au Japon.

Great colors.
I like the man in yellow walking.
And you can see the foot prints on the sand.
Gorgeous view.
Well done!

Salut Jean Claude, je découvre ta gallerie, c'est pas mal, un peu monotone sur les dernières et en manque de contrastes (à mon gout bien évidemment of course), mais je trouve mon bonheur sur celle la, qui justement est plus contrastée que les autres, la composition est très bonne, la netteté est pas mal, et surtout ton ciel est magnifique. Karabane, ça sonne bien en plus le nom de ce village, belle photo :)

Nice atmosphere. /I like the man walking lonely to the far distance. The colour of the beach is great, just as the footsteps on it. The stick in the water add something there, just as the boats lying there lonely. The long palms with a bit yellow touch nicely close the image on the right side. Well composed and good colours.
I only miss some sharpness, especially in the sky, but great colours there.

A very excellent composition you have here. A very nice brown beach sand nicely complemented by the single man in yellow there. The sky and the coconut trees looks a little unnatural though. Was there much WS done to this picture? TFS Andre

Hi Jean Claude, this is a great image. It's a scene of great natural beauty, and you've brought the best out of the blue sky and clouds. The man walking into the distance with his yellow robe provides a great point of interest and focus to the shot. I like the overall mood of the photo. Well done! Regards,
Ryno

Mmm very magical, a right place to rest my not so old bones;). The guru in yellow just makes it perfect. Even the strong softening of trees fits in.

Hello there,
I like this photo...I like the contrast between well-sharped palms and soft unsharped clouds in the background. It makes photo unique and different from all the others, which have all elements shapred.

Hi Jean Claude,
Very good perspective here capturing these larges palms and the entire sky with those stormy clouds. I like the detail of this person with this yellow colour walking along the sand.
I think it's a great work.
Well done.

Super cadrage et super compo; à part çà on dirait que le flou est le fruit d'un post traitement

rabani (9463) 2007-05-10 23:50

You have embarrassed me with your camera Jean. You have done quite well in getting this photo.Just be careful when you are shooting scene with a horizon. Always make sure they are level like how we see them; straight and level. But beside that, this is a well done shot. I liked the way you depict the clouds and the palms in a blur kind of way but the lone solitary figure in yellow robe, a pull into the scene.

Regards
Rabani

Hola Jean Claude:

Exelente foto escogi esta por que es de tus primeras y asi pude recorrer todo tu trabajo, que es muy bueno en verdad.

me gusta en verdad esta foto por que parece un sueno, sabes estuve leyendo un libro que se llama el ultimo Caton de Matilde Asensi y en ella habla de un lugar en Etiopia y me lo imagina como este aunque se que no es Etiopia.

Me gusatan mucho los colores, las nubes, el mar y sus olas, tambien la barca, pero el personaje caminado con su traje tipico y dejando sus huellas le dan un pocque de misiticidad como estan en el paraiso o en un sueno realmente placentero, para darle un toque a esta foto ahora mismo estucho a Cesaia Eveora con Petit Pays.
You make my day thanks
Elias

Paradise. I believe it is the deep saturation that gave you this extreme cloud effect, which works great here.

knowdebu (960) 2008-01-06 7:17

Hi Jean,
Beautiful scenery,like the yellow figure in the composition with footsteps behind. love the clouds too.

Hi Jean Claude, I like this very much. The single man in bright yellow wandering along a pristine piece of beach. This is how i used to think of Africa before the TV threw so many tough scenes at us. Well cropped and balanced. TFS. Murray.
