Very colorful.
Picture falling little bit to right, but those legs, skirt with sandals in a rocky earth hold at the place.
I'd like to crop from left, but after minute, not at all.
Perfect in technical-point.
Interesting picture.
Thanks Swiatek

strange framing but the more i look at it, the more i like it! this lightened colors, this character in red leaning towards the right and those cropped legs all fit well together!

great shot!

Hello Swiatek,

this is beautiful and somewhat strange. I like your composition. the yellow color of the ground is strange but it goes well with the colors of the subjects. nicely done!

Hi Swiatek,

Very nice colors and interesting composition. I like the fact that you were standing a bit on his left, not exactly in front of him.

Best regards
Yan
