[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When the boat (called the "chaloupe" there) coming from Dakar after a 15 minute-trip arrives at the pier of Gorée island, boys dive and get on board the boat and then dive again asking for a coin they will get and catch in the water. It is a sort of ritual and a way for them to get a few money.

I like it! Very expressive and nice colors too!

hi Sylvie,
this is a great shot. Brilliant POV and colour. I feel a nice white border will lift it out even more. Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Beautiful photograph. But a sad scene.

Hello sylve
je trouve ce cadrage en diagonale très interessant. Ces eaux sont magnifiques et le rendu par transparance des corps nageant est presque irréel ( pour moi, j'ai une sainte horreur de l'eau) :-)

magnifique comme prise de vue
