Hello Kevin.
I like your daily life photo, which is well cropped so the painter seems framed by the nearer hull and the one he's working on. The inclusion of the closer one also adds to the feeling of depth and reduces the expanse of grey water. Nice representation of the colours. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Kevin,
a wonderful and well considered composition, with the painter absorbed by his work between the diagonals of the boats. His body provides some fine diagonals too. The shape of the boat he is painting is fantastic as it seems to be reposing gently on its side. Light management, clarity, colours and capture of textures are superb. I love the colours and the rhythm of the many diagonals. A lovely picture, well done and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Hello Kevin,
This is a nice daily life photo with fine details and good colours. I don't see a lot of pictures from Mozambique on TE so every contribution is welcome.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Kevin,
Love the colours hee, and the sense of everyday life is perfect. I love how intent the man is on his paiting, and the capture of the brush on the boat.
Best wishes
Noel
