[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The countryside surrounding Jinka is very beautiful and has several Ari villages. The Ari are much friendlier than other tribes in the region and more open to contact with foreigners without the hassle and the begging. Among the Ari we felt welcome.

This kids were walking their goats back to the village.

Resounding hello daniel. I did not intend actually to evaluate already again a photo from you to. But your current photo is so beautiful and worth seeing that I announce myself nevertheless now. One can call this photo only maximum performance. Really greatly. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Daniel,
Nice capture of the kids and the goats including the environment. The field (cornfield?) appears a bit blown out but that may be due to sharpening. Fine series continued. Regards,
Hakan

Hi Daniel
A nice portrait of everyday life, and I especially like the goat on the left! Nice to see these people in the surroundings where they live. The contrasts look a bit overdone though - especially the background - and personally I would have preferred a bigger photo and a narrower border just to do the image more justice.
Regards, Susanna

Salut Daniel,
j'aime bien la "scène champêtre" avec une belle compo de ce groupe,mais je trouve qu'il y a beaucoup de bruit,des pixels à fond.on voit mal les visages des personnages.
j'adore la bestiole dans le coin gauche.

daniel-

I'd like to agree with what sleon says. More photo, less border. It seems that some people on TE use borders to dress up a rather weak photo.

Your's needs no border to do that. This is a very good capture, and you have the people posed very well (whether on purpose on not). I also love the goat being lead out of the frame on the left. You have made good use of proportion, with the backgournd and foreground working well together to create the desired story.

Maybe a touch over sharpened.

Nice work daniel.

You seem to have done a good job with the exposure especially as it looks like you had a big light diggerence between the shadow and bright daylight. The composition is fine, the family is posed but the goat injects spontaneity. Nice reportage.

Hola Daniel.

Una bonita foto de familia.... :P

Bonita caras la verdad. Bien visto.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hi Daniel,
Very nice family portrait and great catch of different gestures and expressions of faces. Photographing them just at the point where the shadow starts is an interesting idea. I like the sharpness which emphasizes all the details of the including. And of course those colors...Beautiful...
Cheers,
Deniz

I wish the family was under sunlight, that large shadow must have been a cloud, nice pose anyway.
A lot happening here, I am finally in escrow, and will be moving in end of August. I'm also planning the next expedition, with Indonesia, Tibet, Nepal, maybe Bhutan, and some more of east asia. The Nepal part will be the longest, a 3 week trek up to 5500m! Yikes!

It was a difficult lightning situation, but you managed the exposition perfectly.

Hola Daniel.
Una buena toma de la vida diaria de estas personas, La foto no es facil por la presencia de sombras sobre los personajes y animales con una muy buena iluminacion detras. A pesar de dichas sombras sus expresiones se distinguen muy bien.
Buen POV.
Felicitaciones.
Abrazos.

Hi Daniel, another beautiful iamge from this place..
i like a lot your composition and the landscape around..
the red dresses create a great contrast!
ciao!
Valeria

Hi Daniel,
A lovely family portrait including the family pet goats :) I love this kind of 'down to earth' scene ... the picture speaks for itself. This daily life scene is similar to the rural scene back in my hometown. They might be poor but what they lack in material things they compensate in abundance in family love. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
