[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In many areas of Nepal, the houses often have no washing facilities and people must wash themselves and their cloths at public fountains or in the street. Here in Bhaktaput life has a timeless feel and things do seem to have changed in centuries. I found this woman washing her cloths in the street, near to a public pump. Her little girl is clinging to her as she works. Nepalese people don’t seem to mind being photographed as they go about their lives, but they often do not like to be photographed when they are washing themselves in public.Bhatapur is a Newari town in the North East of the Kathmandu Valley and if full of ancient temples and monuments.

Hello Kevin,

I like this daily life picture through the reality of the picture.
So we learn a lot about the other side of the world through photography.
Our people in the western countries can not understand how this people life together with man and children almost in the nature.
Quality and sharpness are extraordinarily, my compliments for this one.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Kevin,
This is a very appealing daily life shot with superb colours and clarity. The child clinging to its mother and looking shyly at the camera is a great addition to the image. Very well observed and executed.

I must add this to my adorable kids theme, this little one is such a dolly and I love how she's hanging onto mommy. A beautiful picture, the colors are superb!! TFS

A very clear colorbalanced photo Kevin to enhance this little girl holding on to mother seeing you with your camera, a pleasant photo about every days people.

I do want you to know this, I think this is an excellent picture that can be looked at again and again to study the fine human element contained in the shot.
Very well done

Hi Kevin,
Great caught,a very seldom scene for the european eyes,not only the way how and where they wash their clothing but also the tenderness of child and mother.An unique scene!
Regards,Lance

Hi Kevinos,

Such tender moment you caught with your camera. The little girl is so cute and the fact that she looks right at you makes the picture even more tauching. His mother on her side seems to to mind you and continue on her work. I would have cut the top.

Regards,

Flavia

Hallo Kevin!
A beautiful and a bit intimate - in the best sense - scenery. The colours here really are great, especially in contrast to this grey stones all around. The duck in the corner is a funny addition. A wonderful daily life picture!
Greetings from Germany!

hi Kevin

I like this close bond and shyness to stranger. Very well captured reaction of the little girl and shot nicely against the backdrop to give sufficient details of living condition.

tfs, bill

This is a great daily life shot Kevin. I like how sharp it is and how tendered the image is too. The colors are nice. There is no distruction in the background of the photo. Just in good focus. Well done. Sothy

Hi Kevin,
A touching interaction that enriches well this nice daily life scene, very good clarity as well in the photo and good lightening provided by the red pots. You might want to crop the ducks at the top to focus the eye on the mother+child.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Kevin!
What a sweet scene! You captured a great moment, guess the woman doesn't have much free time to spend with the child but the little one seems to like being close to her anyway. That's a great daily scene. Sharp, with good light and colours. I see you almost posted it on Mother's Day (here it was on the 4th May)

this image of mother child is nicely portrayed by you with all its tenderness & mood
rest needs no attention, the only vive is in the looks of the child and her engrossed mother...
well done

it's nice picture Ajarn the kid look wonder at photographer focus is very good
some part of life that i ever seen before
good shot ajarn

Regards
chirasak
