What guided this image
Landmarks
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge; Lagos Island; Lagos Lagoon; Lekki Conservation Centre; Brazilian-style Afro-Brazilian; Tarkwa Bay and Victoria Island; lush coastal Nigerian tropical flora; Yoruba and Bini
Viewpoint
The Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge spanning the lagoon waters with coconut palms and wooden canoes in the foreground, or the view across the lagoon toward the Lagos Island Marina skyline, should occupy most of the image while leaving enough open water, soft sky, and exposed watercolor paper to create depth.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick coconut palms along the coast, mangrove canopies, and lush tropical parklands of Ikoyi and Victoria Island.
