Hi Eric!
Great shot of this group of people carrying water.Good contrast of their colorful cloth with the nice brown tones in the foreground and the vegetation in the distance.
Regards,leo

Hello Eric,
A very efficiently cropped picture that puts the whole focus on the women. By coincidence it shows something that I find so typical of many countries in Africa: the women working hard and carrying heavy loads, the man doing nothing (it seems). The African red earth plays a prominent role in this picture.
Regards,
Gert

Good work here. I love the detail of all basins being blue and all the dresses of different colors. The contrast with the brown-red road dirt makes an excellent contrast. Good framing too

Bonsoir Eric,
Très jolies couleurs d'afrique !
Une jolie image de la vie quotidienne, je suis séduit par ces tissus colorés.
On se plaint d'avoir trop de pluie chez nous, il vaut peut-être mieux un peu trop que trop peu...
Bien vu !

Bonsoir Eric,
Jolie scène africaine colorée.
Très bon cadrage, très belles lumière, couleurs chaleureuses et netteté.
Avoir pris les personnes de dos est un plus!
Bien vu, bien fait.
TFS,

Même prise de derrière et donc sans visages, cette photo parle beaucoup puisqu'elle nous parle de la façon dont vivent les gens et que les couleurs sont si belles...
Bravo,
Amitiés,
Cath.

I remember those buckets well! Although in our case we were fortunate to have running water much of the time, others in the neighborhood did not, and came to our compound to fill up. (This was in Kenya.) There were some Peace Corps volunteers who had to get their water brought in by donkey from 20 km away!

It's a good human interest shot. Also, the colors are strong and the images are pretty well balanced. Good catch.

hello, peter

a beautiful and informative shot. i like the color contrast between the oker of the soil, the reds of the clothing and the blue shirt + the bins. in this sense, i feel, the photo could be a tad more impressive if you cropped away good part of the top, letting the figures and the road dominate more.

warm regards and TFS
