Photographer's Note
The Sine Saloum is a really beautiful and peaceful area near the Petite Cτte, where two rivers meet. Formed by beaches, mangrove swamps, dunes, salt wells and little islands, it's a wonderful place to rest, to watch the many bird species that can se seen in the area or simply explore the area and watch the daily life of the locals.
Near a little village where we stayed, the boys usually take the horses by the end of the day, so that they can have a bath, something they seem to enjoy in the hot days.

Hi Ana,
I would imagine that would be quite refreshing for both on a hot day! :) Love these kinds of local scenes, the customs and every day life is always interesting to witness...and this gives a good representation of those aspects. Whether it's processing or not, the water is a strong blue color, which I believe adds to the notion of cooling off. Sharp focus, distinct detail and well balanced exposure...this turned out very well! Have a great day ahead.
Friendly regards,
Jason

Hi Ana
you've certainly made good on your time here, wonderful set of photographs.
they should find a way to feed that horse a little bit more, seeing the rib cage isn't so great.
but perhaps its not possible.
I like that you left out the sky, by doing so only 2 colors are visable. great idea.
well done
cheers

Hi Ana. Burnished copper both the boy and the horse. They look like finely chiseled statues.The horse looks past its prime and a little tired.Lovely colour combination. Well seen. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Ana,
I was a bit silent during past days (without Internet-lot of traveling); just yesterday I came back from my Kerala trip, and it was excellent. My silence is broken. I've already started posting photos from this trip.
Thanks for very interesting introduction note.
This is a superb photo with excellent details. The horse and the small boy are in excellent light. The view down is also very good. I like the composition with the boy and horse surrounded by blue water. Perfect exposing, nice reflections.
Well done.
Greetings,
Miro

Hi Ana,
I really like your composition on this, the boy and horse are placed perfectly in the frame giving a very fluid sense to the whole image. I love they are looking at each other too, perfect timing!
All the best

Ciao Ana,
questo soggetto ti ha affascinato e d'altrond anche io avrei avuto la stessa reazione.
Il Bambino ed il cavallo sembra che si siano voluti mettere in posa per te e sarebbe stato un grave errore non riprendere questa bella scena, alla quale peraltro, hai dato forma in una eccellente composizione nella quale la cura della nitidezza e del colore hanno dato maggior vigore.
Un lavoro eccellente per il quale ti faccio i miei complimenti.
Bravissima.
Ciao e buona giornata
Romano

Hello Ana,
just a boy and his horse amidst the waters. Nothing else? Look at the horse which seems undernourished: you can see and count the ribs. And only a poor, thin rope to guide him. The boy's underwear is definitely not from Calvin Klein. The only exception is the decoration on the animal's eye protection. Pride and poverty. Well seen!

Hi Ana
Charming shot, lovely to observe how they behave, reckon the horse does not look very happy at all after being forced to water then to drink it as well. I think boy is still too young to understand as the saying goes "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink...." ha ha.
I really like the details of both of them as if communicating to each other. I love especially the detail in the muscles of the graceful horse. It's well captured in the lovely evening light perfectly. You obviously enjoyed a fruitful and rewarding visit to this amazing location! It's beautifully taken image in wonderful natural environment. Congrats.
Best regards

Hello Ana,
a lovely scene captured effectively in a simple and straightforward composition. I like very much the interaction of just two colours in the frame. The luminous blue makes a wonderful backdrop for this intimate and amusing face to face between the little boy and his horse. It's like they're having a conversation. There's great depth and you've captured fine details and attractive textures. You've also exalted the quality of the light. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great Sunday,
Ourania
