Today's Pic: Harmony in Mozambique

| Comments (3)
National Geographic Magazine's International Photo Contest has just ended, and the judges have some tough decisions to make. But you can be a judge, too, and vote for your favorite image in the People, Places, and Nature categories. Here's last year's People winner, taken by Ilvy Njiokiktjien in Mozambique:

National Geographic design editor Darren Smith agrees: "The composition is intriguing with the mirroring of the women's bodies. I find it to be very harmonious and soothing. There is something reassuring in the play between the colors, shadows, and light. It appears simple at first but gets more complicated the more you look at it."

For more images, visit the weekly galleries on National Geographic Magazine's site and vote for your favorite images. Viewer's Choice winners will be announced in early December. Check out the gallery of last year's Viewer's Choice favorites. Voting closes November 8.

How's it going?

I like your site. A lot of useful travel information on here. I was wondering if you wanted to do a link exchange with my site, ThatVACATIONfeeling.com. We are a new site trying to spread the word so we can build a useful website for all.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Sincerely,
Jason

The flow in the picture: The elderly equating to gentleness. The lack of clutter on the street indicating a laid back part of town. The similar hunch in both women almost gives one the feel that each is a living shadow of the other. And makes one wonder where they're heading to. The the visual relief accorded by the artistic ventilator at the top of the structure is soothing.

The shadow of the palm promises a visual beyond the scene.

Wonderful.
