Photographer’s Note

It was in a karo village. The picture try to show the heavy life conditions in Africa, and all the effort that support the human being, specially women. At the background, the chilhood, it's the hope, the future....

ola Carlos,
hiciste una lindissima foto,de verdad.Se ve la peina y el canzancio de la mujer al primer plano,sus ojos tan chiquitos,casi cerrados.uno se da cuenta de la carga que lleva aun que no se ve entera.
Bien hecha la DOF,con la juventud que se adivina atras.Desdegraciamente,no soy seguro que cambiara la vida para ellos..
Hay tantos problemas a discutir.. mejor dejar hablar las fotos que estan buenas comme esta,hablan
solas.

Great photo. Just getting to this location ought to be worth something. The foreground, background, village in the distance, it all works for me.

You might want to see what a touch more contrast would do for it.

Easy enough to try.

Congratulations on a great photograph.

Aloha, JB

interesting composition and nice blurry (but interesting) background make this portrait really nice, good work ;)

Hola Carlos
Me enacnta como has enmarcado esta foto. Me gusta mucho como hay como tres escenas paralelas una detras de la otra.
Este es el pueblo que estaba al lado del campamento? Yo todavia no he terminado de retrabajar ni la tercera parte de mis fotos y recien esoty en las del norte.
Un saludo
Daniel

Carlos,
A superb shot but i think there is a little more you can get out of this shot by a littl more PP. I have done a workshop. I used a sharpening script (USM should be in the tips and techniques somehere) and incresed the contrast. Also just added a simple white frame as the background colour to TE is a little distracing if you ask me. A great photo. Hope you like the workshop.
Cheers
Peter

Hello Carlos
Très beau beau portrait, mise au point parfaite, la profondeur de champ est idéale pour mettre en valeur le premier plan tout en ne négligeant pas l'arrière plan. On devine la dureté de la vie dans le regard de cette femme aux jolis traits.Les couleurs sont d'un réalisme..
Amicalement.
