[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A 'Dhow' floating on the sea is such a common sight from a Zanzibar beach. They give a very peaceful mood to the place. These dhow boats are locally built by the Zanzibar people themselves.
This boat was passing by when I was watching the sunset one night and - as the sea was rather calm - I only wished I could join the people on it and just sail away.

Hello Sabine !


Great shot here. Very soft ambiance. These sailboats are very elegant. I posted a little WS. I personnally prefer to have the subject off centered.

TFS,
Robert

Nice photo.

But i dont like grens (specially in the sky).
And i think this photo is crooked :)

Hello Sabine,

Wonderful shot. Very nice composition and colors. Great job1

hi Sabine,
I like this picture a lot. The evening colors are just so beautiful, and from away, the Dhows look like sharks:) I noticed this one has an engine, which I guess it's good because with this calm sea, it's impossible to get anywhere. But then again, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea.
cheers,
Behrang

The shape of this boat is very appealing - I can see why you wanted to photograph it. I also like the other dhow in the distance, giving a little perspective. The sky is wonderful too. Great work!

Hi sabine,
Nice!!!!
Really nice mix betwen the ship and the sunset, they work very good together.
The shape of the boat is great, looks very exotic.

Hi Sabine
well seen this typical sail in counterlight contrasting this good cloudy textures nice red/purple sky, I like this peacefull scene with all the men in the boat, I like the yellow icecream too but this I favor a tiny bit more.

Hi Sabine,
very nice picture. I actually like the original more than the workshop. the sailing boat and the sunset are pleasing. very well done!
regards,
Martin
