Dans la mangrove près de Cotonou au Bénin, une pirogue dérivait lentement dans la lumière d'un petit matin calme.
Cette photo a à peine été recadrée, aucun traitement ne lui a été appliqué.
an excellent light and scene...very calm and peaceful

A most beautiful image. Great control of contrast . . .

Great composition. Like many rainforest photos the colour is a bit dull due to the strong contrast in light. It would be worth tweaking this a little. It is a nice photo.

lovely. i agree with helen. have you tried upping the contrast a bit or maybe saturating the color a little? the composition is wonderful.

@Jennifer: Yes, I tried but the light is not exactly what I saw when I was there. The result was not as soft and serene … Maybe I did not find the right setup.
Anyway, thanks to you all. As for the composition it was hard to do it right since I was in a similar boat … moving slowly. I shot several pictures and this one was the right one. Digital technology is marvelous :-)
I really like the mood of this one.. and the composition is great! ;-)

Love the composition, agree with color comments. How on earth does the boat float?
