Glowing Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

My favorite time of the day for shooting in Africa is late afternoon. When the sun hits the skin right, it "glows". This shot would have been even better if I'd managed to catch the girl on the right with the sun hitting her eyes. Oh well...

There always something which could have made a shot better, but who cares for perfection? ;o) I really like the light, the whole picture, not just the skin glows. They have some very stern looks in their eyes, beautiful girls.

You can't have everything ;)
This is great image I like that looks... just like Burnham I think it's something distressing in that eyes.

I like the warm colors here very much too,David
I wonder about there facial expressions, the tight crop make this a very original caption but might bring the wrong impression (like intimidation) here
But it is very good , the longer I look at it the more I can read from there facial expretions

Very nice, and powerful, rich light, too, that adds to the expression.
If I may say, Too bad you don't tell us more about these women. It is such a close-up, we wish to know more.
