[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When our ship reached Esna, we have to pass through a lock (like the Panama Canal, only this is not as big). Because of the number of cruise ships sailing the Nile, we have to stop and wait for our turn as there is only one lock operating, the other lock is being repaired. Even before our ship stopped, river vendors or water vendors came out of nowhere. They sailed right beside our ship. One intrepid river vendor hooked his rope into one of the ships eye bolt and let his boat be dragged by the ship. That will give him a minute or two to be the first to sell his goods. The swarm of water vendors may be seen HERE

what an unusual compo, Andre!
I really like it. its diagonals are so amazing, and the colours seems like old. Very nice tones indeed. Focus is perfect and the sarpness is as it sholuld be.
congrats

Hello Andre,
I had to look twice at this to figure out...
Fine dynamic composition, good details inside the boat while the water is blurry...
Attractive colours in this unusual but intriguing composition!
Greetings,
