Dear Jose Diogo!
Wonderful picture.
Good idea.
Great work.
My heart is crying...
TFS!

That's where the loudly speaking photography begins, but...
there must be some PP done here and there...
That arm of someone on the right (?)
Dark (too dark) faces in there...
It's worth to work a bit on them because, as I said - the beginning is done...
The situation is there - sound and clear.

All the best, good buddy

Hello José,

Another important upload...while I'm uploading happy riverbank sceneries from Mali. Two extremes, both Africa, both human. With my pictures I always felt, hoped that those scenes would never disappear. With yours there's only hope that they will become history. Maybe both feelings are just as naieve...

Olá José,
Desta vez não concordo com a crítica do Jorge (Polonaise). Não se deve fazer nenhum pós-processamento à imagem. É deixá-la como está, em estado bruto e imperfeito, como a vida destas pessoas.
Aliás, o fundo excessivamente branco tornando as faces ainda mais escuras torna a foto ainda com mais impacto. E não há impacto suficiente que transmita assim à distância esta dura realidade.
Um abraço,
F
