This is my first shot from the beatifull island zanzibar in tanzania.
The clear white beaches the clear water was a dream.
You can see a shot of our hotes at the nord-east of the island.This man comes from the bar which is located on the water.At this time it was flood and so the water is touching the base.In the evening you could walk threw it.
Hope you like this shot
best regards Toba

Hi Toba,
T R A U M H A F T! Tolles blaues Meer und der Steg ist super! Der Mann der darüber läuft ist ein schönes Detail. Würde mich noch über viele Posts vom Strand freuen.
Klasse!

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hi Tobias.
I like this shot a lot.
I like the sensation of quiet, the colors of sea and sky and the human figures walking on the bridge.
Well done.
Best regards.
Bobo.

particular and beautiful photo.bravo Tobias

Hello Toba,
I like the geometric lines of the bridge and the dominating blue tones of sea and sky. The person walking along the walkway is a definite bonus. Very good clarity. There is a slight tilt to the right in the horizon, but I do not find this unduly disturbing.

Hi, Tobias. A difficult picture to expose with the white sand, the sea that give very high lights and the roof of the pier that is rather dark. I think you managed it quite well. the pillars divide the image into different parts and this gives a good structure to the picture. the human presence adds life to the scene. Maybe you could have tried to put the boats on the right enbtirely inside the frame of the pillars. I think this would have looked better.

Hallo Tobias,
Very good colour balance here, but also the composition is a strong key in this image. Two people on the beach, one on the jetty, it works really good. Pity the boat is not to be seen complete. But your colour handling between water, dark brown from the jetty, and the softer blue form the sky is very beautiful.
Have a great weekend, Henk

I LOVE the colors of the water!! Gorgeous. A very pretty scene. A very interesting looking walkway. TFS

Bonjour Toba,
des couleurs bien différentes de ta dernière photo. Mais tout aussi belle et nous voilà transportés des terres arides à la mer.
C'est très séduisant et vacancier.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hello Toba,
Perfect paradise with clean beach and clean blue water!

good colour and details
well done
best regards

Hello Tobias,
I didn't know there were so many covered bridges around the world! Well, I guess this one is more like a pier...
Interesting duotone, fine repetition effect and a good sense of depth...
Greetings,

Hi Tobias, paradisiac place and very nice picture... I like a lot the composition you've made with the bridge cutting the beach and the man just walking there. Great colours too. Just one thing, maybe you should have avoided the blue frame, it cuts the picture in some way, i think that just the black one should suit better. Congratulations and thanxs for sharing! Chau chau,

Maria

Hello!

Nice view you got here Toba. I like how the color of the sea and the water blends with each other. Those boats are an interesting subject too.

Hi Tobias!

Very impressive photo, I haven't seen anything like this before! Surely a fantastic place for a walk! Excellent composition, beautiful graphical result, great inclusion of the man walking to get an idea of the scale! Great light managment, amazing, "tropical" colours! Congratulations!

Hi Tobias,
Great view along the coastline and over the fresh blue water. The pier is a very nice addition and is nicely captured, exactly from the side. The light is enhancing too. Well done!
Regards,
Lars

Tobias!
What a nice shot of the bridge over beautiful turquoise waters.
Theres a similar shot of a bridge in Myanmar (higher) on stilts which this reminds me of, just the Zanzibar version instead!
Thanks,
Dave
:)

Oh my word, Toba,
what marvelous colors! I love that clear blue/green of the water and that wonderful sky. The graphics of the dark colored walkway are excellent in contrast and I love that curve of white sand. Really beautiful shot! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Tobias,
Beautiful and picturesque scenery :] Nice composition, colours and lighting, well framed.
Georg

Hallo Toba,
The geometry of this pier works very well and gives a good graphism to your picture. The tones turquoise of the sea and such a white sand have a nice chromatic contrast with the sky, the vegetation and the dark tones of the pier and its roof. The man walking is a bonus taht works very well in the composition.
Good work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Tobias,

After savanna, the edges pleasant of the sea. It is a paradisiac photograph, this blue water is superb. Contrasts of light are interesting here and I like this framing of the image with this bridge which brings a graphic aspect to the image. Good glance Tobias.

With all my friendships and a very good day,

Jean-Charles

Hello Tobias! Very interesting bridge (pier?). Nice lightness, very nice colors, good contrast. Original composition. Good POV. Well done!

Hi Tobias,
This photo absolutely deserves the title!!!
I loved the ever blue color of sea, it is inviting me there I can sense!! It is like there are blue marbles under water that reflects the color this way... Can't take me eyes off...
Compliments!!!
Burcu

Tobias,
a wonderful composition with great colors and contrast between the water and the covered pier. You could have achieved even better results in the colors and the clouds by using a circular polarizing filter.
Peter

Hi Tobias,very nice photo with good composition, colors and POV! Cool place!
TFS and regards,
Philip
