Beautiful image.
the light probably is too strong on the left side, but the composition and the colors are really nice,
thanks, ciao

Excellent compo (but you know that). I like how the clothes the woman is wearing is the only splash of stark color in this scene. The fact that mom & kid are looking in the same direction is a bonus.

Another vote that it's a very nice composition. Great colors, too. It would be nice if she were located where there was more context, if we could see beyond her to a village or landscape, but that was probably unavailable!

You might try cropping 20 percent or so off the bottom and the right, to see how that looks.

very well done the POV is great and it is nice to see how african people look for shadow to be cooler.
Very nice

I would maybe add a little contrast to this image but beside that, I love this simple composition. 2 colors, great light effect, beautiful expressions. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Swiatek
Nice and interesting to look at this picture. A good compo and well chosen. Greetings Albrecht

Picking out some and this one I like, you maintaind a supurb compo in function to spot your target, a good example.

Nice scene.
It's a way of life so different than ours... but they seem so happy... I like the photo.
Well done.

Perhaps fails the contrast or the light, a postprocessing could be good.
