arriving near Djenne, you have to croos the niger river on a small ferry boat... almost at sunset, dust around and this very african atmosphere... look at this old french peugeot 404 burdened with sacks of goods... and local travelers... This is so africa for me;-) in the good sense...

I like the tones in this shot a lot, and although its a little dark perhaps, it fits the shot well. I like the beaten old car piled high with luggage... great daily life shot.

This shot looks to be underexposed, however, along with the sharpness, it creates a special atmosphere.
Nice job Eric!

Hi Erice, nice one ;-). I love the atmosphere that is portrayed here, and the difference you show between the African continent and the Northern part of the world. That Peugeot would have been long ago been on the car cemetary here. A bit too dark,though, I think.

Very very nice colors. I wish I can see more details on their face but who am I to complain if I am staring at such a candid and beautiful reality that is Africa in this pic. Congrats.

Very good composition, Eric. Great colors tones, too.

Well done

It is a little dark Eric, but the tones are very earthy and probably very aplicable to Africa. Quite amazing what is packed upon that old car!

This is incredible. I really like the light, deep colors and the comp is superb. At first I though that the image was a bit dark, but after looking it over carefully it's the darkness that makes it great. Well done!

You know i like very much this kind, but is a little dark, anyway very good composition !
Congratulations
