Endless Blue Photo

Photographer’s Note

The dimmed light from the partialy cloudy sky and a shallow water during a low tide create an unique color combination where the sea seems to touch the sky.

Polarising filter helped to reduce blicks from the water to the acceptable level just marking the surface of the water.

Women walking in the water and collecting seaweads seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.

And I enjoyed creating a framing to highlight the overall effect.

to be continued.. Zanzibar seems most the rewarding part of my photo adventure in Africa

Marek,

Good eye in spotting this one. Makes a wonderfull shot. Its not only the idea which is good but also the composition. Having the small figure to the right makes all the difference on this view. I love it !

Hi Marek.
This is a great shot !
The woman seems to walk on the water following a path given by the sticks.

very nice composition with this lonely woman, like a mermaid walking on water. I like the monochrome here.

Czesc Marek,
Wyczarowales tutaj niesamowita atmosfere, ulotna, zamglona, rozmyta i zwiewna. Swietnie wkomponowanie postaci kobiety, doskonale swiatlo, fajna, subtelna ramka. Calosc bardzo mnie ujela. pozdrawiam. maki

Hi Marek,
Great shot and nice composition. I have to admit I absolutely hate the faded-edges frame. This compelled me to do a workshop where I played with a few other things too. Hope you'll like it.
Thanks, Lewis.

I'm not sure about the border you added here, a little distracting for me.

About the framing, I wish I could get less of the bottom part. I would crop close to the first branchs, this would create a better diagonal direction from the left to the fish man on the right. I would love to have more contrast though. That's all for today, I'm asking too much ;o).
