You have done a great job in capturing the atmosphere. The light is very nice and I like how it refelcts from the water trickles on the ground making them shine like silver. However, there's something missing. I think maybe it's the angle or POV you have chosen. It is normal that the people are blurry at loner exposure times, but here it's quite a mess. I think ii would be better if you were a bit closer. I think it might have been also better if you were more to the right. I also think it would have been a much better result if the guy/girl in white who is standing up would be seated as others and if the brown barrel or smth right in the centre would not have been there.
So - I like the colors, I very much like the light and atmosphere, I like many separate parts of your photo a lot, but as a whole I think it's quite a mess.
TFS!

One of the comments below says it's a mess..Well, isn't that sometimes the point? I like your series of African photos and this is another one which nicely relays the atmosphere of the place - sometimes chaotic, a bit.

It is a nice shot and I don't mind the blury shapes - it did catch the athmosphere very well. Thanks

I don't mind the blurry siloeuts neither...my opinion is that they give an aura of mistery to the photo like a tribal council or something...some serios issues are being said there...so keep up the good work...personally i like it very much...it is already the wallpaper on my screen :)...if u don't mind of course.
