This are the people who live at the Mandalay harbour. On the day they empty ships with wood and pottery. They have a hard life and live in small wooden houses near the river. This photo is taken after their work has finished.

very nice picture Bert with exception for the very radical and painful surgery of three arms

Hi Bert.
Nice double portrait.
Beautifull contrast between this two face and colors.
Good work.
Regards.

Nice shot of the girl with her traditional Bark-paste makeup against her blue dress.

Hi Bert,
Beautifull contrast between this two faces and colors. Nice traditional Bark-paste makeup. Nice POV (except the guy without head in the back). Good work. Keep posting. Cheers.

Just a great shot of these two at the end of the day. The protection she wears from the sun kind of adds an interesting beauty to an already very stunning face. Your notes also add to a intriguing and thought-provoking photo. Very nicely done.

Hi Bert,
I have seen your galleries and its very impressive
You look at the people in a very special way( or they at you)

This image is very special too not for composition (which I like) but for her look at you with the mask on,
I’m sure it would be great as a portrait by it self

Well captured

Ishai

Besir has a point about the arms.
Nice portrait, the busy-ness of the scene behind the young lady is not too obtrusive, adds life really, with the figure of the gentleman a good rythmic counterpoint to her . But it all seems over-sharpened, given the noisy background.
