[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Burundian Refugee camp just outside Kigeme is currently home to approximately 2000 Burundians. The camp is about 8 years old; it's latest influx was early 2006 following some flaring of troubles in Burundi.

can see the worry in the eyes very clearly...extremely sad photo...well done..

hi steve,
for me this photo is not extremely sad , like thinks canan.I see a very interogative picture,children are probably listening to some directives about futur.
the girl is the midle gives the power to this shot.
i am surprised to learn that these people have more problems,i thaught it was ok now in burundi.thanks for sharing and if you can,give us more information of the situation on next photo.:)

Dear Steve,
Welcome to TE. You have appeared with a bang.
An excellent capture of a sad mood.
It reminds me the famous award winning picture "Migrant Mother", by Dorothea Lange in the year 1936.
My workshop has followed the same theme.
I shall try to put that photo in another workshop.
Enjoy and have fun in TE.
Best wishes
Dr. Bhunia

Hi Steve,
I like this compo with all these faces.
They seem very pensive.
I like where you placed the focus on the guy with the cap and who looks other side.
Well done

Hi Steve,

Hi Steve,
Expressions and expressions everywhere. So many eyes and only a single pair is observing you.
A good try,
Keep it up,
