Tanji, Gambia. The woman are collecting the fish. The women are paid with some fish they bring on land. Later on they sell some fish they earned. What is left they keep to feed the family. A colourful sceen, not without danger for the woman. And a hard life

I really like the color in this photo. Also happy the Gambia is represented. I would try adding a bit of contrast. Not sure if this would improve the photo, but it may be worth the try. Thanks for sharing.

Allô Ingrid!
Magnifique photo et superbes couleurs. J'aime beaucoup l'arrivée des bateaux de pêche et tous ces gens qui viennent cueillir le poisson.
Excellente composition et bonne note.
Félicitations!... et Bonne Année 2007,

.....a beautiful and well balanced shot - the hard work of hauling in these fish in the water......the meagre pay, the poor life....against this warm, sunny, colourful and charming image.....but so nicely balanced visually too.....good work Ingrid..... bw Kev

Magnifique couleurs et belle composition! Un belle prise de vue vivante!

Hi Ingrid

This is a jewel of photography, and believe I'd been proud if I had taken it. Everything works well here, starting with the light. Funny it has taken so few points: Multiply mine by 10 please.
Friendly regards - Izzet Keribar

Excellent composition and very nice framing... Good POV and light balance... Congratulations...

Hi Ingrid.
Vivid colours image; though a polarizer hardware or software filter will result.

Que foto tan bonita y colorida. Describe a la perfección las múltiples variaciones en que se presenta la lucha por la supervivencia. Y sin embargo hay en ella un toque tan cierto asimismo de experiencia festiva. Esas mujeres con esos vistosos pareos, metiéndose en el agua con ellos hasta las rodillas, con esa naturalidad... Exudan elegancia, la elegancia de lo incontaminado.

Nice photo Ingrid. You go on. This is your talent's playground!

Really nice photo. Some highlights are a little blown out, but it caught my eye as being a very fresh image. Good composition and very descriptive.
