Photographer’s Note

No sadness in this picture, it was a religious ceremony with full of people in the streets

On aimerait bien avoir un commentaire explicatif sur cette image, vous pouvez l'ajouter à tout moment ; on ne sait pas que font ces gens, sont ils malheureux ? miséreux ?

Welcome to TE, Gregory. Very nice first photo.
I like that blue very much!

I wanted to post a WS, but you toggled this option off, so here are my remarks.

You should tilt the photo 2deg until the wall is vertical.
Then crop the foot and the farest woman's face, and half of the left wall and the hand(for a ballance).
Good Luck!

No need to make any changes on this photo. Everything works for me here and works very well. What I like most are the contrasts of the young and old women in the shot. Usually a busy composition, like the one you have here, does not work, but with your shot this does not pose a problem for me. Excellent work all the way!

Indeed, beautiful first photo! Great composition! No cropping necessary. I like the two wise faces; the little girl and the older woman almost have the same expression! moment well caught!

I agree with all above. This is a great composition. You've been able to capture the sad expression of that little girl and those of the thinking women in the background. Very nice.

What sublime eyes, and so skillfully captured. It sure would be nice to know some of the background of this image. Very nice.

Beautiful shot. I agree with Yitzhak though. That foot really worries me. Apart from that your colours are spot on and that expression. OH that expression!
