Those mothers are waiting on the floor to see the doctor in the dispensary of the camp of refugees.
No panic,even for deseperates people!
"inchallah"(if god wants)they will see the doctor today,if not ..to morrow.
The waiting file was so enormous that we have to put a systeme of"selection",it means that 2 camerouneses nurses had to make a selection of the real emergency people who needed a doctor,these 2 male nurses were very competent and so there was no problem,they were able to treat the most part of patients.

hello Patrick,
an insightful image. Your composition is excellent.I especially likew the mother's hand resting on her knee. For me it signifies patience.

Impresionante foto:colores impactantes, brillantes amarillos y azules...y bonita la composicion enmarcada por esa tela azul...me quedo sin palabras para describir el atisbo de sonrisa del niño.

A beautiful shot - very colorful but tinged with sadness at the plight of these people.
Regards
Chris

Belle image Patrick, très expressive.
Je l'apprecie d'autant plus que les images des camps des réfugiès que la presse normalemant publie sont terribles et ne tiennent en aucun compte la dignité des personnes.
Les expressions que tu as capturé sont pleines de cette dignité et le sourire de l'enfant est un hymne à la vie.

Hi Patrick, c'est une image extraordinaire!Ce qui m'a frappé ce sont surtout les expressions des visages mais aussi l'ensemble des couleurs avec cette dominance du violet.
Merveilleux!

hi patrick,
excellent composition and what a wonderful daily life photo. As sad as it is, I love the vibrant colors these ladies are wearing.. maybe it's something they need to get through the dull day.. TFS.

Bonjour Patrick,
Ta collection de vieilles diapos est fabuleuse et la qualité des scans impressionnante. J'aime beaucoup le couleurs de celle-ci et la façon dont tu as cadré ces femmes et ces enfants. L'innocence du bébé au premier plan contraste ave la lassitude qui se lit sur le visage de la femme plus âgée.
Amicalement, Brigitte

This is a very striking picture Patrick and a good note!

I wonder how the photo would look if it was framed a bit more to the right, with the left foot of the first mam entirely in the picture? But I can imagine that it's not that obvious to take people's portret in a refugee camp. How did they react to your camera?

And I think the first baby is a girl instead of a boy :-)

Beautifully composed image.
I love the tones and misty background.
Excellent work.

Nice job with the POV. Maybe a little too much of the womans veil is shown, but you could crop some of it without losing her hand or the ladies eyes at the top.

Great Job.
Aloha,JB
