[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some children by the riverside in Djenné city gathered to watch the white stranger, the oldest waiting for a moment to proceed home with her very heavy load of water in a wooden bucket.
This picture was scanned from a kodachrome slide.

Hi Gert

Nice vertical comp of these children. What a capture of daily life. Good documentary photo, wow 25 years old. I wonder how things have changed. Mali is a country I have always wanted to visit. Well done.

Hej Gert,
I wouldn´t suggest a B&W version of this picture, here you have enough colours! You have positioned the children very well to get an excellent composition.
