Gathering Storm Photo

Photographer’s Note

A remote village in the center Ivory Coast. Saw this approaching storm and tried to capture the essence of the unusual calm just before the storm hits. The lit foreground contrasts starkly with the dark clouds.

My last picture uploaded from Ivory Coast, have finished my tenure as a peace keeper here and will be falling back tomorrow. Wishes.

Hi Selim,
The light before the storm - strange, uncanny, apprehensive of a coming disaster...you captured the light well.
Regards. kazi

Hi Selim,
This photo is an interesting one - we don't see too many shots from the Ivory Coast. The point of view is very good, looking down this dirt road with its vanishing point to the left of centre. However, I think the photo is a bit washed out, and could be darkened a bit. Also your file is very small at only 93k, meaning that its quality suffers. I hope you don't mind if I do a workshop on it.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Selim,
This path gains good colors thanks to the slightly stormy light, it would be good if the person were closer.
Have a nice day JY
