Photographer’s Note

This evening we were having a traditional night fishing. The sunset we get was really fascinating and shurely fishes were admiring to ;-)
The boat used is a traditional one (seen in the picture) and fishing was done with a simple nylon wire...enough to fish barakuddas (can't remember how its written) and other species as big as a human thigh!!

Really like the picture, great perspective and colours. I find it a little too pixelated.. Thanks anyway !!

Beautiful sunset.

Nice shot.

Nice compo! the sky does look beautiful and the boat edge really stands in this vast ocean. I agree with Klme about the pixelated aspect, maybe some PP would fix that. Regards, Mário.

Hello Alexis and Caroline. This is a stunning sunset shot and quite original with the addition of the tradition boat. I like how we can see the ray of sunlight, and how the large cloud separates the two areas of blue and 'golden' sky. It makes an excellent advert for the Maldives. Well captured.

Bonjour,
Un coucher de soleil superbe, où l'on peut appercevoir les rayons colorés, laissant aussi une part de bleu dans le ciel.
Un parfait cadrage.
Daniel.

quel ciel magnifique ! c'est une bonne idée d'avoir inclus la pirogue dans la composition. un moment certainement fabuleux.

Chers Alexis et Caroline,
La proue du bateau ressemble à celle d'un drakkar !
Félicitations pour cette superbe composition.
Ciel merveilleux offert par la nature et très bien capturé par le photographe.
Une image pleine de talent.
Bien amicalement.
Philippe
P.S. : la pêche a-t-elle été bonne ! ;-))

Salut - what a scenery.
Great POV - true warm and clear colours.
Very sharp and perfect with the two tiny island at the horizon.
Very well done!

Very pretty sunset. Great angle of the silhouette in the foreground and of the 2 boats on the horizon add to the composition. Good hide & seek with the clouds and nice blue sky.

Nice photo. I like how you have included the front of the boat into the picture. Very nice backdrop aswell. Well done.

Beatiful picture. The boat in the photo is really necessary: can be a lot of sunsets, but you has done a sunset different.

Ah les malidives, la plongé, la peche au gros... un vieux reve !
Très beau coucher de soleil en tous cas, la mer est contrastée, le ciel interressant et bien coloré, la proue du petit bateau ajoute une touche originale qui donne le petit plus a la composition.
Sympa !
Michael
