very impression-full photo, particularly the child's shy-serious gaze. Caught very well.
Thank's

Une photo de reportage très expressive avec ce regard d'enfant si intense devant cette eau, source de vie et bien si précieux...
Amicalement

Close, CLOSE shooting in this tightly cropped shot. Everything works wellhere, from the colors to the metal cup thrust forward almost 3-D like towards us...
Very nice work indeed.
Just back from Vietnam,
Francis

Maciej,
Nice shot i like the tight crop and the way you have the V shape with the boy and the babies leg leading us to the water but i find the crop a little tight. I feel i can only really related to the boy would have liked to have seen the other faces of the mother and child.
Cheers
Peter

My goodness this is an excellent post, Maciej! I don't really know what to say. It tells an incredible story in a simple image and a few words. The tight crop is effective in showing the closeness of the family and the protection from the mother over her beautiful children. I only wish the hand in the foreground were slightly sharper. Otherwise, I think it's perfect!
