[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Choa people who are arab speaking nomads who periodically enter the Cameroon territory with their animals during the dry season so they can survive. Women form these tribes seem to have extremely beautiful traditional red dresses and to wear a profusion of earrings, collars, etc…

Here, the shot was taken at Maga along the lake banks few kilometers from the Chad border, Extreme-North of Maroua when sailing up to a spot where one can observe hippopotamus. I love the smile of these elegant women.

salut steven;
belle scène de vie quotidienne.
Je trouve que les personages "ressortent" trop sur le fond,ils auraient été comme l'âne aurait été suffisant,ceci dit ce n'est que mon humble avis.

Steven,
Great composition and a very good DOF.
This lens seems to be of an excellent quality,
from what I can see here.
Were they waving to you, or someone else in the
boat?
;-D

Hello Steven,
Perfect shot. Excellent colors and sharpness. Very beautiful composition. Great work!...
Regards,
Seref

nice friendly shot from far away;-) je me suis posé la question du cadrage mais finalement j'aime bien l'idée de voir qu'elles vont à la rivière avec ce bout d'eau et cette pirogue au premier plan...

Je pars au Burkina faso dans 3 semaines pour marcher dans le pays gurunsi à la frontière du ghana. tu connais?

Hi Steven. Wonderful shot filled with sunlight. The colours of the dresses are stunning but what is even more captivating are the spontaneous smiles on those lovely faces and the gesture of welcome. A refreshing, positive image of Africa. Well done. Amicalement. Klaudio.
