Children and bicycle, a photo from Zanzibar, Est

Photographer's Note

Children on a rusted bike - no matter what size, they'll ride it. Amazing to see the vitality of a country through the energy of its youngest generation... Not something westerns are used to!

We felt Matemwe was very much tourism-focused, maybe not in the way we would have preferred - but we're just guests there... It certainly has a lot of potential with its preserved reef and traditional life around.

Hello Bertrand - stunning portrait and image. The DOF is amazing, with expert sharpness and clarity in the FG and a great fade into the BG, and the looks you've captured on the faces of these two kids on their old, rusted bike allow us an instant connection with them. A really masterful image, one of my favorites here. Thanks!

Good selection of dof here, Bertrand, & a fine natural colours. I also like your note.

Have a fine week.

Bonjour Bertrand
J'aurais parié sur Bweeju ou Jambiani mais Matmewe ne doit pas être bien loin
La plage bordée de cocotiers et tapissée de debris d'algues et résidus de cocotiers, ressemble vraiment tellement
Un endroit, et Zanzibar en général, que j'ai adoré et où j'ai fait plein d'images !
Beau double portrait/scène de vie avec une dof très étroite
Le petit garçon à l'extrême gauche est un tout petit peu perturbant
bonne soirée, amicalement
