São Pedro Beach, a photo from Sao Vicente, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

São Pedro is a small picturesque fishing village on the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde, and is located 7 km southwest of the city of Mindelo. The landscape is arid and majestic, and the beach of São Pedro is a long beach of white sand and turquoise waters.
The island of São Vicente is an island of essence, glamour and contrasts where you can breathe a characteristic atmosphere, the symbolism of art and Creole culture are very present in everyday life.

Hello João

I love this composition, with the boat creating so much foreground interest. I guess the sunshine was hazy, though the boat's shadow looks strong enough. But I do appreciate your decision not to "enhance" the colours in pp: this natural-looking image is much to be preferred.

Regards

Will

Hi Joao,
Very good POV that uses very well the boat in the foreground to add depth. The sea is very nice in the background. Good sharpness.
Have a nice week,
Olivier
