Photographer’s Note

I saw this goat and thought she was posing for me perfectly. I know the street is a little overexposed in some parts, but I still liked this scene. Taken in a small laid back town of Dungarpur.

Wanda, good capture, the slight over exposure is not a big issue and seeing the un-tethered goat alone in the street watching you makes for a wonderful image that most of us won't see at our home locations.

Hi Wanda!
A great shot in "Caleb,Scalerman" style.
The overexposure at the street is OK for me.I like this bright diagonal between the people and this nice goat.Great POV and excellent composition.I like too the big amount of this wall at the right side.
Regards,leo

Don't mind at all the OE, it is an unusual and interesting street scene, and dynamic as well catching the kid in stride.

Wanda,
You sure attract alot of attention there, everyone is looking right at you, even the lamb. Excellent images really good DoF, all is nice and sharp from the lamb to the people in the shops. Excellent daily life image, I feel as if I was strolling down the street with you. I really enjoyed it. Thanks

hello Wanda
this goat is in a funny position,and it has the exactly the same tones that the wall behind it!I also like to see the street,with the laughing boy,the shop,the colourful hung papers,and the house with a man resting in front of it!I enjoy very much to see this quiet indian atmosmhere,I even wouldn't have seen the small overexposition if you ididn't speak of it in your note!I just wonder where is this village!
Regards
Pascale

Hi Wanda,

yes, a charming scene.. with man and animals living together in the streets there is so much more life :)
the boy laughing is a nice bonus here.
Compliments, Christian

Forget the street Wanda, you've done so well with the goat! I love the way that she actually appears to be posing for you. Nice job friend!

hispic (7399) 2009-02-21 19:12

Hello Wanda,
Wonderful shot! a boy looking at the photographer is also perfectly placed in a good moment. The sunlight streamed in through the street makes a very attractive stage.
Yes the goat poses for us when seeing a camera, i have taken the posing goats in India, too.
Regards, Hisashi

Hello Wanda! Oh yes, she seems lazy, from the heat of the day, seeming friendly, smiling into your camera. Cute the boy, he smiles for you too, maybe thinking what you saw :)))) Very nice street scene, laid back like you say. Happy Sunday, Barbara.

Deepforest (8825) 2009-02-23 14:26

Hi Wanda,
Yes, this goat seems to be professional model! Funny pose of the goat and very interesting scene in the background: the street, shop and the boy smiling to you. I like this photo very much.
Best regards,
Andrzej

daddo (11535) 2009-03-02 5:04

Hi Wanda. Amusing photo and a happy one. The boy's presence livens up the image both in his motion and smile.The street to me is not overexposed as the photo shows the true intensity of the light.I like the harmony of the colours and the whole ambiance.Regards. Klaudio.

A remarkable shot, Wanda, a sort of feast for the eyes. Actually there's almost "too much" to look at in that you have the goat,,,and then he eye darts to the kid as secondary main subject. But really a delightful image. Congrats.

This is a picture I really like because it is so heartbraking :-) But still you made a very well composition. In this picture don't bother about the overexposing on the street because your eyes lead you to the boy who smees to be very happy to see you shooting.
