Wonderful colors! This photograph illustrate very well that ''less is more''. At minus 20C it is a real pleasure for me this morning to look at this picture. Bravo. If you can edit your note (?) to let us know where and when or why...
If you allowed WS you could see different cropping and adjustment of your photograph

I find your shot perfect as is. Stunning colors, simple and effective composition and symmetry. Thanks for warming up this cold December day!

I can feel the warmth! That water... aaaw... I wish I was right there, right now! Beautifulo colours and a very nice composition and interesting subject makes this picture great!
Again - thanks for giving me some warmth and sunshine, here in Sweden it´s currently -10 degrees and snowstorm.

This is a typical "against-the-rules" nice pic. The subject is centered. You framed half sea, half sky. And nevertheless it is really, really great... Conclusion : Feeling and art first !

Well framed Pete, "me against the sea", great colours, the sky and sea. Really made me home sick.

Grande foto. Você me passou o clima do lugar. A sensação de imensidão me é muito agradável. Bela foto. Parabéns.

La composition est somme toute classique dans son genre, mais toujours aussi efficace et agréable à regarder.

---------------

Classical composition in that style but always efficient and pleasant to look.

Nice composition and beautiful colors.
Great scene!

Lovely colour and very nice composition.
Very intersting the fisherman looking far...
Good Job.

The centered composition works very well here. The man is still presented in his space, but the composition gives him much importance.

La composition est magnifique , le cadrage parfaits.
Dommage que la compression de l'image soit un peu importante (69ko !) car elle pixelise un peu

I like this picture a lot...I'll come back tomorrow for the smiley.Very, very nice. Colors, composition, even the frame..

Lovely colors! the combination of sky, sea and shirt under the contrastic tropical light.
I'd like look to go there Zanzibar really.

I decided to go to Tanzania in July, partly because I saw this photo on my first visit to TE. Excellent work in a genre where it is hard to stand out from the crowd. It's a pity that you do not include any comments to your photos.

Great composition and idea! And the water looks just perfect =).

wonderful seascape. the tones of the sea water are incredible! Nice composition and I like the man standing just in the middle of the shot, gives a sensation of being shipping with him.
Congrats.

Beautiful picture! I love the colour of the sea!

rajhema (1867) 2005-10-10 16:22

Dramatic blue Peter. Your idea of keep the sailer in the center is very thoughtful and attractive. Good one.

Nice color combination and beautiful composition. I would have preferred a less symmetrical view, but that's just me. The water is just fabulous. Regards, Yvonne

Belle photo, dans un lieu magnifique. La couleur de l'eau est splendide !
Néanmoins j'aurais vu un cadrage un peu différent pour plus de force => un grand angle éventuellement, avec plus de place à gauche suivant le regard de l'homme vers l'horizon. Puis pour moi il y a un peu trop de luminosité. Certaines parties sont comme "cramées"=> bois du bateau, voile, etc.

KKar (486) 2007-08-02 0:53

The (A) geometry in this picture is unique. - the lines start at the boat , extend to the legs and meet at the top of the pole. The horizon offers the necessary horizontal line.
If it only was a bit lower...
Very well done peter
