[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pitched outside the singular Ngorongoro crater are several Maasai villages. As almost every tourist does passing through, we stopped for some cultural education. The chief provided us a tour of his humble home made of cow dung, in which a campfire was burning on a midsummer's day. While my wife danced a bit with the colorfully dressed women, I let the men take some pictures with my camera (which was fascinating to see what turned out). The children also impressed us with the alphabet song. As this photo shows, we met a beautiful woman whose kind smile could melt the hardest of hearts.

What an amazing photograph!

thats a nice portrait.. you managed to capture the expressions of the faces pretty good..
bad think is that image is too bright, results to washed up colours..

i tried to make the colours more vivid and warm in workshop

nice try :)

Very good Portrait, that poor ears!, houses built of Cow Dung, most likely better that the houses that we have to live in up here Bonar Bridge lol.
great expression on the kids face.
Great POV COMP and all the rest.
