[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My contribution to Helen's Friday theme is this photo from Mauritius , a small island ( beaches are fabulous )located in the Indian Ocean. Caught these persons waiting for the light rain to stop 'under' the roof... of a rickety bike repairs shop .I was standing across the street obviously and the scene pleased me particularly for the general state of 'olde times ' , the wooden and metallic-roofed building showing some evident signs of decay and neglect .The old tires thrown onto and left on the frail roof perhaps because of lack of room in the shop itself are what drew my attention in the first place.This is a scanned picture from my pre-digital years , thus made some corrections in noise reduction and sharpening, usual adjustment of exposure, gamma and in highlighting the scene a little .
Thank you for visiting and leaving a critique ,

Nice B&W.... Interesting compo.. It's a beautiful island, can't wait to get back. You've caught the daily life well with this journalistic style photo.

Hi Carol,
Nice and creative contribution to the Friday Theme. Great daily life shot from that place, somehow we can feel the culture and life of those people through this photo. Fine presentation, TFS!
Best wishes and good weekend,
Kristof

Hello Carol,

Under the roof ("debaixo do telhado", in Brazilian Portuguese) is an excellent B&W composition with very good light and contrast.
Very good perspective too!
Congratulations and TFS.

Hi Carol,
I never would have guessed this was a scanned image, the quality's quite good! Perfect choice of black and white here to enhance the different textures and shapes. The contrast is perfect. Well done again!

Hello Carol

A nice journalistic style shot here and very different from the palm trees and beaches we all tend to see from this beautiful island. Good detail and a nicely balanced POV.Excellent choice for B.W too

TFS regards Helen
