Hello Udo!

Wellcome on TE and congratulations for a great first posting. I really like the landscape on the back and the contrast with the happy colours of her clothe! You were also able to capture a great smile!

Cheers,

Joana

The term poor is used in verious meanings in each society, there in the capitalist world it is used for short of money but here it is used for one whom has no friend or family. There are many poor people in high class of society those have only the money but no relative friends or family, she feels proud as she has a shelter and there is lake or river nearby so it will feed so she must not be poor.
A very classical shot, TFS.

Hi Udo, A wonderful portrait of this African lady dressed so brightly. What intriges me is the ancient, but fit for purpose, axe in her hands. This could be from centuries ago. One of the best from this region. TFS. Murray.
