Linda foto e muito diferente das anteriores. Aqui podemos ver gente com mais alegria e melhores condições de vida. Gosto de ver as diferentes actividades a serem feitas naquele momento, especialmente a da mulher no canto superior direito. Se é o que eu penso, é muito característica em África!

José,

A nice daily life shot.

The tea ceremony reminds me of that of Mauritania or Senegal, but I suppose that is not really a surprise!

I like the way the poses of your neighbours rythms the photograph.

Good stuff, Jose.
The contact has been established.
The warmth of the human beings is there well established.
Another step or two forward would just great !

Keep us posted, buddy

Hello Jose, I don't think that we should look for esthetics while looking at your photos but I prefer the ones where we see more the expressions of the people, like this one. Also, a lot of things to observe, so many people relaxing around, busy with little things... It's a great document for all the little details to be seen, a pity that part of the photo is overexposed but this does not disturb too much...
12 heads, 4, 5 or 6 looking at you : a friendly photo, nice neighbours you have, you are lucky ! :))
Best regards,
Cath.

Uma foto interessante, José.No entanto, acho que poderia ainda ser muito melhor, bem tratada no Photoshop.Trabalhando as sombras e altas luzes, poderia escurecer o background e realçar o menino.Cumprimentos!
