This water is the fantastic clear water from zanzibar.
The second week during our trip we stayed on zanzibar a dream island.
One day we made a small trip to a small island t he trip is called blue safari.
We saw some dolphins swimming directly next to our boat a fantastic moment.
While we were looking for other dolphins I took this picture of a typical boat from zanzibar I liked the contrast.
Hope you like it too
Best regards Toba

Hi Tobias,
Another beautifully colored, nature photo is posted on your gallery.
Blue of sea, white of sail and red "dot" of man is very well composed here.
I like vertical framing here, presenting the sail as a vertical triangle.
Best wishes,
Burcu

Hallo Tobias,
so eine Piroge zeigt uns Europäern, dass wir in einer ganz anderen Welt sind. Ein schönes Foto, nur das Licht ist etwas hart, tageszeitbedingt.

Hello, Toba,
beautiful shades of blue with the white sail in contrast and the man's red shirt. I like the vertical framing and the way the sail is off centered. I'm nor sure I'd feel comfortable in such a frail looking boat, though. :)) Lovely shot! Many thanks and take good care,
SShelly

Hi Tobias,

Splendid blues on sky and sea are perfectly merged emerald colored sea water. Authentic Tanzanian sail adds great value with its unique design and clarity as same all of your frame. Splendid one, congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Tobias,
This is a beautiful capture with nice composition. The picture is clear with very good color.Well done.

Gorgeous! You've positioned the boat perfectly in the image. I like the low perspective you've taken so you feel right on the water with them and the sail just leads you right through the picture through this fantastically blue sky. Nice!

Hey Tobias.

This is a really good picture! The first thing that stands out to me is the colour of the sea. This is a real eye catcher! Also I think your composition is really good as the boat and sail is positioned nicely in the frame.

Very well done!

Hi Tobias

Toba,
Another beautiful image of Zanzibar where I have not been in when in Tanzania. I love the turquoise water, great sharpness and clarity, good composition, colors and light well managed with adequate saturation and contrast. Very refreshing atmosphere fill with tropical and cheerful light. Thanks for sharing and your nice comments. I will post some more photos of Tanzania again soon.

Hallo Tobias. Ein klassisches Motiv, photographisch hervorragend realisert. Komposition, Licht, Farben usw. sind vorbildlich. Das Photo hebt sich vom Durchschnitt deutlich ab. Sehr schön. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Hello Toba,
A very good capture of this sailing boat. The horizon is nicely placed in the frame and both colours and clarity are excellent.

Hi Tobias!

Beautiful, exotic and relaxing scene, with a wonderful traditional boat! Beautiful range of blue tones, so diferent waters than the ones we have here in the Mediterranean. Great framing and simple but effective composition! Congratulations!

The prescribers said all to be said. I may just agree with them and score 2 pts :)

Hey Toba,
schönes bild! Tolles blaues Wasser, die rote Person liefert einen super Kontrast und der Blickwinkel ist echt schön!
Schönes Bild aus Sansibar, ich hoffe du hast noch mehr von da.

Hello Tobias,

Interesting to see this vessel, with the outriggers and the triangular sail!
A fine composition, where the good light renders fine colours...
Seems like the crew is relaxed too, under the high sun!

Hallo Toba,
Yep agree the sea water carries all the characteristics of the tropical dream, funnily the guy on the boat seems a bit bored to enjoy this day after day...

Hi Tobias,
I loved Zanzibar when I went there, it just had such a nice atmosphere and your image shows that well. Very nice with the different shades of blue from the water to the sky, and the boat is nice and sharp with the mans red shirt jumping out.

Wanda

hallo tobias

wonderful color in the water and the boat is a charmer too. not sure i agree with the composition though. the boat seems a bit cramped on the right side: as in "it has nowhere else to run than off your frame".

warm regards,
kristaps
