A fantastic sense of space and the air around things in this image - very nicely composed to put us right in there with you and them - a great capture of movement from the women.

nice work!

best wishes Kev

rzeczywiście rewelacja, podoba mi sie takie kadrowanie "pod niebo" czasami sam robię takie rzeczy, ale tutaj przy tej ogromniej przestrzeni nieba otęguje to niemalże silę wiatru rozwiewającego szaty kobiet;
timbuktu, hmm, może kiedyś, pewnego dnia...

Hi Slawek,

I like that shot very much. I think first that it's technicaly well done but it's above all the atmosphere that I like here. This place seems to be almost desert, only few people crushed by the sun...
Well done!
Quentin.

Hello Slawek, I fully agree with kev: this is a splendid capture, bursting with atmosphere and filmic romance.
Only one thing: from what I can see they're walking AGAINST the wind (look at the way their dresses are blowing), not WITH...
Great shot!
Bravo,
Francis

Hi Slawek,
Very good compo, I like where the women are placed in your frame and the empty space.
Well done,
Oscar

Hello Slawek, this is a very dynamic image of everyday life. I like your low perspective and off centre positioning of the women. It makes them look as if they are really sweeping across the frame. The big sky and sandy road gives a good feel for this remote place.

Hi Slawek,
beautiful photo! I was checking the photos taken in Mali, 'cause I though I'd like to see what the world like over there, and this photo just poped out of my screen. I like the way the women stand out of the photo, wlaking in this empty street. I feel the hot wind blowing in my cloths.
Nice one!
Nicolas

hi Slawek,
late but still ; wellcome to TE :)
great photograph..I feel the wind in the women's clothes...
very nice place..I think I would increae the contrast a bit but then it might lose the feeling of the wind dusting evertyhing..I am not sure :)..
all the best
