[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
If you are visiting this area at Tokey Beach and also known as Number 2 River, one can hire a paddling conoe with the driver to travel slowly along the river while taking some precious photos and have good air under the heating sun if you are tired of swimming. Its a wonderful place for relaxation, a very peaceful and quiet environment. You will only hear the sea waves and birds. I have travelled many countries around West Africa and i have never seen a beach competent to Sierra Leone's.. this is the fact.

Hussein,
This is a fine beach shot and the canoe adds good color and character to the shot. The lighting and colors are nice with excellent sharpness and detail. I think the use of a polarizing filter would have been helpful here eliminating the glare from the sand and making the colors even more vibrant.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Hussein

It shows a part of a country rarely photographed where it seems there are some marvelous beaches as this River n°2. But, to be true, I would have appreciate to see more of the beach (and eventually some more water) better than the canoe! Maybe from down you could have had the both... And, something which seems strange to me, is that often, in your beaches photos, there's not much people (except in the Boxing day in Freetown, that was a very good surprise). May I ask you why? It gives the feeling that Sierra Leone is empty...

Best regards,
Marine

This is a very nice composition. Good colours and details to show this interesting and beautiful seaside scene.
Best wishes,
Achim
