Very good and solid photo,maybe I would like to see them and
their gestures more close,but on the other hand I can this
way I can see also those very interesting paints on the walls.
Great scene for today.Dobre Jerzy!

Hello Jerzy,
Beautiful scene of the daily life in the Cap Verde.
The colors and the tag are splendid.
Good day.
Marc

Hi Jerzy,
That's a great colorful frame. The background is as important as the people on the picture. Just a little regret regarding the left border of the frame where the scene is a little cut.
Best wishes
Marc

Fajna, kolorowa scenka z rogu ulicy.
Nawet te torby plastikowe tutaj nie przeszkadzaja, bo wszystko wkolo takie kolorowe.
Tak, moc tutaj jest w kolorze, no i w jakiejs egzotyce.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

PS : Troche mi szkoda, ze Twoje wczorajsze nie zostalo lepiej ocenione za swoja oryginalnosc.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Olá J., I'm very attracted to the colors of this daily life scene and specially that painting on the wall. Actually, that painting is the main subject here - not the people :) Love the light coming from that yellow.

Colorful and vivid picture. I like the composition and the scene. You made a good work with a good composition.

Real inhabitants and their symbolic reflections on the wall...
It is impossible not to be urged for photography's sake when you see such warm tones on a wall.
The texures and color cast are very nice and likable.

ps: your new avatar! each time you find a funnier one for you :))

Cheers,
Deniz

Hi Jerzy-Green-Hair :-)
Maybe these African mulattos with blond hair inspired you to change yourself to green :-)
I'm divided about this photo: it's a picture of the boys, but the mural is so strong!
OK, this is daily life two-in-one: the boys in photo, the fishers in the mural.
Wonderful colors.
Regards,
F

An enjoyable slice of daily life Jerzy - the colourful murals give the shot a strong impact.
I don't know - there was a lot of space on the right side to play with, so it beats me why you crammed the group so tightly against the edge of the frame, clipping the fingers and elbow. Maybe there was something unseen out of frame that you were trying to avoid?
Other than that I like it - enjoyable shot.

Cheers,
Ben

This is just great. That colorful background wall is amazing. And the way the tall guy on white is using the edge of the frame to get some support is also great. Like it a lot.

The scene is quite dull, Jerzy, but the important things here - the light and the colors... Give us color, color, color... (see, even in your intro pic)... rgds, Daniel

Hello Jerzy,
I like the relaxed look of this trio hanging on this colourful corner.
The paintings on the wall are just great and give much life to this photo, creating a very tropical atmosphere on the photo.
I like the way the center guy seems to be hanging himself on the frame, but also I have some doubts about the colours on his face or is it my monitor?
Cheers.
Paulo

A great POV for this daily life shot, Jerzy. The colourful background gives it a lot of impact. I'm not so keen though about the way in which you have framed this cutting off the hand and elbow on the left. I know you like to crop closely with many of your portraits - and it works okay with the close-ups - but here it just doesn't look right to me. Cheers . . . David
