Photographer’s Note

I took this picture in a very small bolivian village called Colchani. This village is next to "Salar de Uyuni" Uyuni Salt Flat. Almost all the inhabitants work in the salt industry, there are about 80 families living there.

Hi Maria,
Great POV. I love how you captured the dog looking down at the young girl. Nice composition. A colourful clothed girl entering a coloured door. Good work :)
Cheers from Australia,
Graham.

What a lovely candid shot. I loved the naturality of this shot. My two cents about improving this pic would be..

Lots of space is actually wasted at the top for the sky. I don't see any value add from the sky. This pic looks best with earthy look. I will try a workshop

But the walls, god seeing her entering the door are all covered to its best

[workshop] [compare]

This is when I like TE at it's best . . . a photo with a good note.

Thank you for telling the story about this village . . . thank you for the photo . . . I like the contrast of the beige world . . . blue sky and the girl . . . a splash of color going through a door with the same color as the sky.
The composition is funny with the dog placed on the wall looking to the girl.
Less funny is the roofs . . . indicating that the houses are poor . . . but I could be mistaken! . . .

good TE moment! thanks for sharing . . .
regards,
David

You have captured the scene in a perfect way, just at the right moment.
The girl coming from school (I suppose) and the dog waiting for her.
A whole story of a life in a picture.
