At the market, a photo from Ziguinchor, West

Photographer's Note

As I have written, African women are beautiful and beautifully dressed. Very often they were just poor women but they looked as if they went for a party. Here the scene from the market in Ziguinchor.

Ziguinchor is the chief town of the Casamance area of Senegal, lying at the mouth of the Casamance River. It ha

Hello Malgo,
Good capture of this interesting and colourful scene. The lady who catches my eye is the one in the background looking directly at the camera between the two groups of women in the foreground.

holmertz (103520) 2018-12-22 1:59

Hello Malgo,
I think you understand that watching the women was my best hobby in West Africa. ;-) Not only were they beautifully dressed, like these, but they also had a beautiful way of walking with straight backs, probably from carrying so many heavy loads on their heads. Here we see that even with a modern style of dress the colours and bold designs remain. Boys and men look so dull in comparison.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo,
A great photo of this market, I like the quite low viewpoint you chose, which shows the many colourful dresses worn by the ladies really well. Not only the bright colours, but also the patterns of the fabric are very eye-catching.

Hello Malgo,
you are right about the elegance and beauty of african women: have a look at the bloke on the right side, compared to the colorful ladies in your picture he is nothing than a scarecrow.
Have a nice day,
Elvira

Lovely casual, perhaps even sneaky shot with lots of couleur locale and many things to like. It's the young mother's pose on the right that steals the show, but I also really like the inclusion of the guy walking past on the right of the scene.

pierrefonds (115408) 2018-12-22 4:50

Hi Malgo,

You have captured well the action at the market. The point of view is showing the details of the colorful clothings. The light is bringing out the colours. Have a nice day.

I guess they use the same philosophy of the indian women and their saris. marvelous details of their clothes. the colors are amazing and you got a nice sample of the local daily life. .
PS:yes, I posted so many images from UK, I will be obligated to reduce my brazilian posts and my chinese ones too.

take care

Twoje zdjecie zdobi dzis strone glowna na TE. Super zdjecie z targu. Naprawde piekne sa stroje tych kobiet, cudowne kolory i wzory. Jak w wielu miejscach na swiecie, widac, ze mezczyzni zrezygnowali juz z tradycji, natomiast kobiety dzielnie ja podtrzymuja… :-)
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
