Photographer’s Note

On a beach somewhere between Nouakchott and Iwik. Unfortunately this character wasn't very sociable and didn't allow closer portraits...

Hi Marc,
This is a lovely image of this fisherman relaxing amongst these old well-used wooden boats. The side light is wonderful and the composition excellent. I like how you have included a glimpse of the painted boat names and the group in the background, as well as the man who looks like he could be winding a fishing line or net. If I may say one thing, there seems to be a little bit of banding in the sky, but it is no way detracts from this shot which is really enjoyable to see.

Thanks for sharing, Casper

The man in the picture looks very cool. You captured him in a great pose and if he didn't want closer portraits...well, that's his right. Thanks for sharing this great shot, Marc.

Bonsoir Marc,

Génial l'experssion du pécheur pris de profil, vraiment très bien captée. Et en plus, une très belle composition qui situe ce pécheur dans son décor quotidien.
Amicalement,
Roger

Hello Marc
The unsociable fisherman has an interesting profile with his pointed beard. The rows of boats in the foreground and the people in the distance complete the scene. Tfs, Marlene
