The offering Photo

Photographer’s Note

L’offrande – Petit village de pêcheurs très pauvres de Sala en bordure du Fleuve Niger (au fond) – le plat que porte cette petite fille, plein d’eau, me fait penser à une offrande pour les Fêtes de Pâques –

The offering – Little village of very poor fishermen of Sala in edge of the Niger River (in the background) – The dish that this small girl carries, full of water, makes me think of an offering for the Easter –

bonjour gaby,
interesting, i just wonder where you were while taking this photo: were you standing and holding the camera down without looking through the viewinder, or were you kneeing?
salut, jerzy

Hi Gaby,

beautifu Africa. The simplicity of life there is such a brath of fresh air to the "West" where we tend to shun simplicyty. But to these people, she isnt just offering you a small thing, she is offering you a great gift. I love the sincerity in her eyes, and the innocence.

Hi Gaby, you show the ritual and at the same time playful character of this offering very well.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Bonjour Gabriel
je suis étonné de la beauté de cette bassine qui semble en métal ciselé. Ecore une scène sympa de vie rurale.
Les contrastes sont un peu forts mais sur du sable blanc, cimment faire !
BOnne journée à toi aussi

Very beautiful compo of these two little girls. We can see the river up in the back and the message of the photo is simple and clear.
Excellent Easter offering idea,
Best regards,
Sayat

merci Gaby pour l'offrande de Pâques, belle composition avec la petite dans la lumière qui contraste avec celle dans l'ombre, les blancs un pau trop blans sans doute dus à la luminosité intense?
bonne journée
amicalement

Bonjour Gaby. Pour repondre a la question de Jerzy, je pense qu'il t'arrive de te servir du LCD flexible de la A2 n'est-ce pas, ca te permet toutes sortes d'angles.
Ton fill flash est de plus subtils, on n'a a peine l'impression que tu t'en est servi ici...
Belle compo aujourdh'ui qui sonne tres bien avec ton theme.
Amicalement,
Francis

Salut Gaby. I like this composition a lot, good symetry, the reed house, the shinney metal, the different expressions. Well done.

Once more a very nice one Gaby. Good perspective and composition with the eyes of the two kids standing out for their beauty. Good mix of colours.
Well done!

Hello Gaby. I love your kids photos. You understand their feeling and also show rs. Thank you.

That's a very nice little suppressed smile the girl has, Gaby, she must be a sly one! It's a nice contrast to the wary child observing from a distance. The dry-grass wall makes a nice backdrop, almost like a theater stage. Well done as always. Regards, Ken.
