Interesting lines that this boat presents. The tire is fun (I know it's a "bumper" - but still fun). :)

Were you trying to include the boat reflections on the water? Or, trying to get the bow of the boat on the ROT point? I ask because it feels a little centered, like a good chunk of the bottom could crop off. Just an observation.

Some neat things you're seeing over there! :D

Neat composition, I like the contrast. Maybe they have high hopes of hitting the sea someday!

Beautiful flower! B&W works great here, and the background is great.

This looks like some of the scenes I saw along the Napo river.

No matter where, kids love the water. While technically not B&W (only the lady on the left's shorts, and the green piece of clothing on shore are dead giveaways), this definitely has a monochrome feel to it. Love the lighting on the water, and shadow on the shore. Very nice shot.

Like the way the dog is just as attentive as the people. Nice details and tones.

The people seem to be looking out of the photo. Cropping a bit from the left might be helpful to reduce that effect.

Awesome photo! I love the wonderful tones in the roots of that big tree and all the interesting things going on in the photo. I also love the inclusion of the side of your boat that really adds some great perspective to the shot. Excellent!

This is an absolutely wonderful photo. You've captured a moment of 'real' life here, a piece of existence we only rarely have a connection with. And, you've done it masterfully with rich tones, a powerful composition, and a simple story. This is a quality photograph. Well done.
