[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am deployed to Cotonou, Benin, Africa by our Company to established the Network Operations in a local ISP. I am now staying here over 2 months now.

I believe that this City and this Country has a very good potential to prosper. Sometime we view Africa as a very poor place. Where poverty resides everywhere. Maybe that's true.

I will always think that someday will come where this place will prosper. Everyday is a new dawn.

Hope abounds...

I like the silhouette approach. Brings to my mind during my high school year when I would copy photos by drawing them using my crayons. Silhouettes are the easiest to draw. Hehehe!
Thanks for sharing, bro!
Jeruel

Bonjour Eman,
very nice image and very good note. Though I would have appreciate some info about the shot. But it's very well seized and cropped. Use of light is very effective. Congratulations!
