Palm tree on the beach, a photo from Tarrafal, Sotavento

Photographer's Note

This Palm tree grows on Tarrafal's beach (Santiago Island). When the afternoon comes to end and temperatures are decreasing, some natives come to play on the beach (this is not really visible on that picture because it was a bit early...). :-)
Another view of the beach is here.

The horizon has been slightly adjusted by a rotation.

Belle composition !
Pas toujours évident à prendre ces contre-jour !
Vous vous en tirez plus que bien,la ligne d’horizon est quand à elle parfaitement placée !!!

Beau travail !
Amicalement
Sébastien

Hello Marc, J'aime bien ton contre jour,l'ensemble de l'image, mis à part la branche du haut à gauche qui à mon avis casse un peu ta composition,est magnifique. Amicalement/jr

Very nice picture, Marc.
Did you try it in b&w also? I'll do a ws for you. The palmleaves are very sharp and the person on the beach gives it a vivid aspect. Very good!
Regards, Erik

Hi Marc
The photo is nice, but I prefer it in plain black & white of the workshop.
