Photographer's Note
Swakomund is a town on the coast of South Atlantic with German heritage. One of main attraction of the town is a wooden pier where people like to walk, fish or just have a good time. At the time I was taking this picture, it was a foggy morning and the pier was empty except for the woman in red clothes.

Hello Zbigniew
I never thought it was Africa.
I was thinking of the North Sea or the Baltic Sea. A simple but good composition with her and the lamp in a good position.
lucky for you that she wears a red jacket and bag.
Very well seen and managed .
Regards,Ronny

Hello Zbigniew,
There's not much here that indicates Africa. My thoughts rather go to the coasts of the North Sea or the Baltic Sea. But that's of little importance. What matters is that the photo is good, with a fine atmosphere created by the fog and the dull light brightened by the well placed lady in red.
But I am quite sure this place is called Swakopmund (you forgot the p). ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Zbigniew,
A well chosen subject - the splash of red is the only colour in this grey photo. It has a great impact. The composition works well with the lamp post on the right.

Hello Zbigniew,
This is so minimalistic that it just leaps off the monitor, whether as a thumbnail, or full size!
The lines guide to the single figure who stands out strongly against the surrounding greys.
There are no distraction!
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Zbigniew,
The title says it all ......
The 'woman in red' is like waiting for someone, someone called 'Mr Sunny' to burn away the foggy morning, to brighten up the sky , with the warm blue sea and breeze ...
While she is waiting, she seems to be absorbing the stillness and the sound of the sea , splashing gently onto the pier...and the matching red handbag.
I like the way you include the lamp and the pier ( just enough, not to distort the whole scene ).
Have a nice weekend.

Hello Zbigniew, I was surprised that this scene was from Namibia, it looks so grey.
Quite a minimalist picture, the lady wearing her red jacket brings the shot to life.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

There is photoghraphic experience revealed in this moody picture: For instance, the lady is located right on a vertical tiers line so the eye, reading from the left, could lock right on her for a pleasant whole!
Thanks for showing
Cheers

Hello Zbigniew,
Her red coat is well placed in this hazy blue scenery.
