Woman with her child
During a day trip starting in Punta Arena, we visit a small noname village in Haiti near the border to the Dominican Republic. Everybody has concerns to capture photes because of the poorness of the people living here. On the other side it is important to show that we not living in a perfect world where everybody has his daily meal.

Hello Achim. Beautiful portrait of mother and child. The details on their faces are excellent. Good framing and interesting perspective to compose this image. Yes is too bad that many people around the world lack the basis necessities of life. Thanks for this picture Achim.

Bonjour, mon ami Achim,
Il ne reste plus grand-chose sur la carte du monde, vous allez bientôt accomplir le tour complet du globe.
Qui s'en plaindrait. Pas nous, sûrement !
Voilà un bien joli portrait où le sourire est là malgré la pauvreté des lieux.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Achim.

In these kind of pictures the faces are lovely.

Nice portrait!

Rgs, Oscar

Very beautiful. Nice lighting. I don't think she looks angry, they both seem quite curious to me. Very well done. TFS

Hello Achim,

The mother with a small smile on her lips, and the child looking very strong to the photographer.
The red flowers on her clothing together with the yellow headscarf gives a nice contrast on her complexion. Very well composition.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hi Achim,Wonderful shot!The mother with a small smile on her lips,very nice portraits, good DOF, sharpness and composition with excellent lights and shades..Well done, Bravo Geo..

Wooooh lovely faces, wonderful poses.
It has perfect lightness and cropping.
Best wishes.

Hallo Achim,
das ist einfach nicht leicht darzustellen, ohne zumindest in unseren Augen gleich zu irgendwelchen Handlungen aufzufordern. Erst mit der Distanz klappt es dann, wenn die anderen diese Bilder sehen. Das Doppelportrait ist gelungen, sehr gut wie Licht und Schatten auf der Haut spielen. Ihr Gesichtsausdruck sorgt dafür, dass der Hintergrund der Aufnahme nicht in Vergessenheit gerät.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

La mère est bien éclairée et se trouve très expressive. Dommage que l'enfant n'ait pas la même lumière. Mais l'ensemble est excellent. Le portrait est un art très difficile et celui-ci est une réussite.

Lovely double portrait from Haiti, specially the mother's face that has an adorable smile with a beautiful bath of sunlight. Excellent blurred background, with shadows and the sight of other member of the family.
Best wishes,

I am always interestd to know about Haiti, as the state of the country worries me! I so much wish they could get out of the vicious circle they are in!
Anyway, your woman and child are comforting, they seem happy enough, and not underfed, so at least, it's something!
TFS.
