Photographer's Note
When the tide allows, every night the beaches of Kololi become soccer fields and outdoor gyms, where the local boys, extremely attentive to physical culture, practice all kinds of gymnastic activities.
LA SPIAGGIA E' IL NOSTRO TERRENO DI GIOCO
Quando la marea lo consente,tutte le sere le spiagge di Kololi si trasformano in campi di calcio e palestre a cielo aperto,dove i ragazzi del posto,estremamente attenti alla cultura fisica,si esercitano in ogni tipo di attività ginniche.

Hello Luciano,your imaginative photograph works very well, taken looking in to the sun it has silhouetted the figures in very dramatic poses.
Football is universal it seems!

Salut Luciano,
Nice graphism and repetition of the silhouetted human figures. First rate sharpness and a splendid warm vs cold colour contrast between the blue tinted sea and the yellow orange sunset skies. Good reflections in the wet sand and a smart shutter speed choice. Tfs!

Hello Luciano
A superb fast-shutter exposure against the sun, capturing the silhouetted figures in a well arranged and dynamic grouping. The great timing shows the ball leading the young men out of the picture, and there's even a tiny reflection on the side of the ball. The colour tones have a great warmth and the horizon is well placed. Very nice indeed.
Regards,
Andrew

Ciao Luciano,
pensavo che le tue mete in giro per il mondo le avessi quasi esaurite e invece oggi ci porti in africa con una foto originale che avresti potuto riprendere in qualsiasi parte del mondo, ma che in questo ambiente assume un carattere particolare.
Non posso che farti i complimenti per l'attimo che hai saputo cogliere e per l'ottima gestione della luce. Un ottimo controluce senza alcuna luce che disturba, anzi lo stesso sole completa la composizione ed evidenzia la splendida nitidezza.
Bravo
Ciao e buona serata

Un joli moment que tu as capturé avec ces jeunes gens en pleine action, bien visibles en ombres chinoises devant cette lueur solaire. La composition est joliment cadrée, la scène est pleine de vie et les silhouettes qui se détachent sur la mer animent parfaitement cette image. Une belle prise de vue et un excellent cliché.

Ciao Luciano,
What a fantastic set of silhouettes in motion, I really like what you've done here. The exposure is spot on for what you wanted to accomplish and the setting is perfect to capture the essence of the location and people. The contrast is strong, the colors from the setting sun as it sits just above the water line gives a distinct horizon and shape to the waves, and the reflection is placed ideally within the frame. Compliments on a marvelous image!
Cheers,
Jason
