Hi Hussein!
Yes! Another picture of Sierra Leone! I'm delighted, Hussein! That is what I was waiting for, from you. The composition is dynamic, with the boat leaving soon the picture for an unknown destination, the colors are bright, the mood is good, and the whole scene, once more, seems so serene. The only thing that I miss is a longer note, in which you could tell more about the people, their way of life. Even if you didn't meet these three guys personally, I am sure you have a little story related to Sierra Leone. Even if a picture is worth a thousand words, a note can be a joy. I am quite surprised to know that is a river and not the sea. In that case, the white sand is even more amazing!
Best Regards,
Marine
Hi Hussein
Great to see another photo from Freetown. Because it is a little over-exposed we can not see the detail on their faces - otherwise very good.
TFS, Marlene

Hussein,
I like the diagonal the three characters form and the contrasts in colours and shades: the green tinge of the water, the red shirts, the contrast between the men and the sand...
Perhaps the diagonal could have been reinforced by cropping the photograph to a square format?
All the best,
Mathieu
