[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the mornings at the desert, it is not so warm as expected, almost at this season, springtime it´s a blessed season.
The wind is blowing, the light is filling up the air and then, she walks through the door with the breakfast. Something simple: A coffee and some crackets.
Moments to remember.

********************CASTELLANO********************

En las mañanas del desierto, el clima no es tan cálido como podría suponerse, al menos en esta estación del año, la primavera es una época bendita.
El viento sopla, la lur rellena el aire, y entonces, ella cruza la puerta con el desayuno. Algo sencillo: Café y galletas.
Momentos para recordar.

Great light, great moment, great photo. Well done Miguel. The colors almost look like film, it's just wonderful.

Hi Miguel.

I really like this picture. I feel you have captured this at a great time. I did notice a few dust spots here which I have taken out in a workshop. Apart from that, this is a really good picture!

Well done!

Blair

En castellano después, que ahora me voy al cine.

Pues yo ahora me voy a cenar (eso me recuerda que no he dado cuenta que estos días era cuando Jerzy estaba en España y se me ha pasado por alto... llevo dos semanas muy movidas).

¿Qué tal Miguel?
Me gusta mucho tu foto. En verdad todas tus últimas fotos de Algeria son muy especiales por diferentes motivos.
Y ésta también.
En cierto modo es como si llevaras una racha muy inspirada.

Un saludo.

(hay que concretar el futuro meeting)

Beautiful work, Miguel - there is a nice spontaneity feel that I like so much here and that urged me to leave some words about the picture.
The shadows are gorgeous, the blue-brown combination works wonderfully, love the blown clothes.

Was it an interesting movie that you saw :) ?

Hello Miguel,
There is a nice spontaneity ,
Beautiful work.

Hi Miguel, you have posted many great photos recently, this one in particular I find fantastic, the wind in the laundry and in the same time the great smile of the woman : really a decisive moment ! Light, colours, sharpness : all make this photo a success.
Compliments,
Cath.
(I'll add it to my 2n favorites as I don't want to forget this one !)

Hola Miguel, what a delightful capture, I love the expression of the woman serving the breakfast and her robes strike a great contrast with the rough brown walls. The inclusion of the laundry and its shadows is a great find - it integrates things rather nicely and adds perspective... and extra local detail and charm! Fab work. Take care and have a fine Weekend!

Hola Miguel

A wonderful blue sky with striking colour contrasts against the red brick wall. Good sharpness, & excellent graphism of the hanging washing. Tfs!

There is something very appealing about this image. It seems spontaneous, but I suspect you were waiting, camera at the ready for the woman to appear through the door. She has a very pleasant smile. The washing blowing in the wind is an added touch of interest and makes the whole a very unusual catch. Good work

PS Enjoy DR

Hello Miguel. Composition, light and shade are the special characteristics of this motive. The upright format is ideally selected. A good and worth seeing shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Flori:)

Hola Miguel!

Esplendida foto del dia a dia, gran encuadre y composicion, bien "estudiados", pero a la vez, un escena muy "natural". Gran manejo de la luz, tambien! Felicidades, amigo para este gran trabajo!

Un saludo, Hercules

It was an original idea (and a pertinent too) to include the drying clothes in the frame. Makes it full of life and joy (don't know really why, but that's what I feel here). And you've got a cool soft light too.
Stéphane

the composition, the colors, everything reminds me of a great artist, Miguel: nygus.
a fantastic hommage to him and a blessing for our eyes.

Hola! Una composición original, con un buen juego de sombras y unos bonitos colores. Te estas luciendo en esta serie de fotos del desierto!

Hasta la vista,

Javier

PS: aun seria mas bonita la foto si le quitas las pequeñas "moscas" que hay por el cielo :-)
