Street life in Andasibe Photo

Photographer’s Note

The lined wooden houses
of the main road of Andasibe
and the shy but welcoming people
were a nice moment
of my morning walk.
The village has a certain charme
and mood of old far west town.

The town is the base for visiting
the National Park of Andasibe/Mantadia
once called Perinet reserve
home of the rare indri-indri
the biggest of the lemurs.

A wonderful interaction here between the baby and the seated woman, Luca. It really creates an atmophere that this is not just a row of shops in some exotic place, it's a place where real people live their lives. I like the unified "earth tones" in the color scheme throughout. Regards, Ken.

Morning Luca, Having never ventured to africa these daily life shots are so alluring for me.
Great POV and perfect tming to capture the older woman genuine luaghter as she plays with the young child. Subtle ntual colours.

Did you travel independently Luca and how easy/safe is it. I will email you.
Take care, Luca

ciao Luca, molto bello il momento catturato, bellissima anche la pubblicità della coca-coal locale..
il POV basso funziona molto bene...
La trovo un pò troppo chiara nella parte destra alta..
comunque ottimo lavoro..
ciao!
Valeria

Nice piece of life in this picture, Luca, You've missioned the the left hand side girl to carry the dynamics of the whole picture by herself, tough job but quite sucessful with her diagonal look.
I like the wooden tones if that shabby store, THB beer adds teh local flavor. I must to go to Mada but I really don't know which part to start with, knowing I'll also need beach and diving.
How's the access to Toliary area?

Great street scene, Luca, I wish I could have such a mood in our street here, haha! The child in the corner is finely positioned to introduce the entire scene so well, with each detail giving a local spice to it

Hi Luca,

I like this. So out of life. I don't even mind the hand and leg to the left ;-) because it is pure what you show here. And not easy with the light from the top right! Oh yes, I do miss Africa every now and then... I admit!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Luca,
this is a very good picture catching everyday streetlife in a well composed way. The boy in the left corner forms the highlight.
Regards, Gerrit
