Personal Paradise, a photo from Inhambane, South

Photographer's Note

I mentioned in my last note that I had a great experience at this island. Well, it was paradise. After a four hour long boat trip with the engine falling off, we reached the island. The first thing I did was running to the first little hill I could see, and this is the view that met me there. In the distance you can see a local fisher with today's catch.

Bazaruto Islands is a national park and is sometimes called "The Pearl of the Indian Ocean" together with Sri Lanka. The main island is famous for its sanddunes, freshwater crocodiles and many sandbanks. All the sand visible in this picture would be below water when tide came in. There used to be several hotels at the island, but today only the two most expensive ones are left, and these are truly not cheap. Therefore, if you want to visit, I suggest living in Vilankulo on the mainland where you also can experience the real daily life of Mozambique. Then do these boat trips to the nearby islands.

Hi fredrik,
I love what you did with the colors. The contrast and saturation are perfect. The graphic elements are very well realized too, the lines in the background and the s-curve on the fg.
The person and his reflection are perfectly placed.
Excellent work.
regards, Gerrit

Hi Fredrik
Another really amazing photo from this island. The shapes and contrasting colours are fantastic and the central placement of the fisherman in the frame works really well here.
Well done for finding such a good viewpoint and luckily you were there at the right tide.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hi Frederik

amazing vivid and contrasting colors for this seascape, good lines and shapes of the pond, and the human silhouette is eye catching (maybe too centered).
Have a nice WE

Hi Fredrik!

It looks from another world...The place deserves amazing colours and textures, an abstract world of contrasts, very good composition and opportune human presence...Great work!

Have a nice day...
