Really distinctive portrait here Gaby, I like the washed out background, and your characteristic use of flash.

Hi Gaby
Another beautifully portrait of an elderly women minding her work. The over-whitened back is well eliminated by the use of flash. Great job.

Good idea to make this photo with a foreground and a background so differents in terms of colors. The impact of the woman over the white is undoubtely more powerfull, but at the same time very well balance in order to see what she´s doing. Thanks for share Gaby.

Hi Gaby,
there's a lot of concentration on the womans face. Her face so old but her hands still young.
Thanks and regards, gerrit

Excellent shot Dear Gaby. A direct window to the heart of these people's life. I like a lot the detail and the sharpness of the photo. The background is a little too bright though...
Best regards,

The foreground is excellent. Very strong colors, a very strong human subject. The flash really brings out the colors. I have to say about the background that Im not sure if I like the strong wash out. Overall, I think this works because of the woman and it overrides my concerns about the strong background. Dry today Gaby, forgive me for one day.

Hi Gaby. I like this one even better than your last post because it is clearer to see that you have photographed the witch dioula woman against a bright white wall - so doesn't look like it has been manipulated in PP. Excellent use of fill flash, perfect saturation and great sharpness. Interesting notes too for this series. Cheers . . . David
