I like the very tidy environemnt, in terms of color to provide a great contrast to the girl and the objects in the phoot. Quite nice use of graphical elements here.

While I do agree that those wages may be needed, remember that it is only when a country can raise an educated pool of workers that such a country can raise its standard of living. I think child labor makes this impossible, and the cycle just continues.

Good point made, though I must say that all that most of the children you portray look very health and happy with the world, or are they just pleased to see you :-)

Salut Gaby,
au travers d'une belle photo quotidienne, tu délivres un message très fort pour tous les enfants du monde qui travaillent par obligation, sinon leurs familles ne pourraient pas s'en sortir.
Au niveau photo, j'aime ta composition où divers éléments remplissent bien tout le cadre.
bonne fête du travail ;)

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais ça m'évoque la peinture chinoise.
Belle scène, pleine de ronds, avec un fond neutre qui renforce le sujet.
Touchante attitude et expression.

Hi Gaby,
you are right to point that out despite of the fact that the many children you shiow never realy look unhappy or stressed by the life they live. In the countrary.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Great shot Gaby. I love the expression and the smile of the little girl washing the dishes. The message of this picture is really strong and is suitable to this particular day.
Good composition and light.
Well done!

Bonjour Gaby,
J'adore la sobriété graphique de cette image. Les quelques éléments qui la composent sont très bien mis en valeur par ce fond gris. Comme toujours dans tes photos, le regard de l'enfant est itense et émouvant.
Bravo.

Bon soir. Gaby. Very nice composition, the little girl with her oversized tub, the 1 tree in front of the all white wall and of course, more buckets and tubs... they never seem to end for this little laborer. Well done.

Once again, a very good shot. It is so minimalistic, and at same time so rich of details. Very good composition. Feel like everything is in balance, even the colors. The girls attention is just adorable. Have you put everything like it is by your own, or was it a natural scene?

Hello Gaby,
tout est bien en place et les couleurs sont réalistes.
Un peu de verdure au milieu de ce béton ajoute une touche étonnante.
Bonne note également, bien vu

Salut Gaby.
J'adore le positionnement de tous les objets, ca a l'air étudié pour...c'est très sympa.
En plus, y a cet arbre qui a traversé le sol, là, perdu au milieu du béton.
Cette petite puce est trop chou, son regard est envoutant et plein de tendresse.

very nice, soft light, and simple yet effective composition. I like how you treated this subject of child work - without typical, western "hysteria" but with understanding of local considerations (hard to think of education when you have nothing to eat). One can only hope it will be possible for those children to combine somehow work and education - so that they will not close their way to the future

Hello Gaby,
les petits boulots, c'est ca qui fait vire dans les pays sous developpés ou en voie de developpement. J'aime bien cette image, et la disposition des elements. Son regard est touchant, les enfants devraient aller a l'ecole a cet age la.
Belle image

Bonjour Gaby,
De retour de la Birmanie, je tombe sur cette superbe image. J'aime l'aspect theatral ici, ca fait scene de Beckett mais transplante en Afrique, tout en restant vrai bien entendu.
Amiclement,
Francis

The essence of portrait photography.
The one that requires studying of every part of it.
It suppose to be a working child theme, but it is NOT.
Because of the tidy elements of this photo, we tend to look no further into the problems of today's world, but rather enjoy incredible composition of this marvel.
This kid looks so proud and happy doing these choruses, that...Screw all the moralists of the world with their holier than thou philosophy and let's enjoy pure essence of portrait photography.
There, I said it..
