The Goddess of the waters Photo

Photographer’s Note

Early morning scene
at Matemwe village NE of Zanzibar coast.
A woman is walking in the low tide
towards her underwater seaweeds field.
The early morning light,
crystal clear water,
magic reflections of the changeable sky
and the cool wind
are good premises
to start a new day...

Hi Luca,
This is a great mystic monochromic pic! I love the "goddess" shape, like a mermaid waiting for poseidon. Great details of water riddles and lovely dazzling sun reflection.
Best regards,
Pris.

Hi Luca!

Under your magic fingers, a simple farmer has become a naiad and the seaweeds field is a dreamlike space where nothing is more true than this silhouette and its reflection. Wands in hand, she goes ahead, to meet us, in the middle of nowhere, and her enchanted estate, where flows a powerful love potion is uncontrollably attractive. Well done, Luca...
Regards,
Marine

Luca: it would seem you have a visually appealing trip. We're looking forward to more. This is a great re-introduction for yourself - almost a "Lady of the Lake", Arthurian image - minimal but very effective contrast. c

She surely looks like goddess of the waters...
Very nice grey tones of water and black sillhoutte of "goddess".. It is natural B&W photo...
The way she is holding her arms is perfect; like she is governing all the water that surrounds her, almost like she posed for your "goddess" idea
Best,
Burcu

HI Luca
Great to see you again with this superb contribution. Her attitude is perfectly captured and brings a nice symmetry to the image. Great contrast too.
