lduchamp 0 Posted July 24, 2001 I already posted this shot for critique some times ago but I accidentaly deleted the post (ooops!). Surprisingly, I don't think anybody commented on what is, in my opinion, the major flaw in this photo: the fact that I didn't manage to get the girl's attention (although I got her little brother's (?)). Still, I like this picture and I'd like to know if it "works" for you (whatever that means). Background: I was visiting for the second time Mali (I was a teacher in Ivory Coast at this time) and we (me and my girlfriend) went for a walk on the Niger's borders. We arrived at a small Peul's village where a procession of youngsters were carrying back buckets of water from the (quite distant) river. Quote Link to comment
charles_miller 0 Posted July 25, 2001 I think those is one of those "almost great" photos. But the presence of the boy is a big distraction. Also, the photo doesn't clearly show the sweat running down the girl's body nor does it clearly show the dead look in her young eyes. Quote Link to comment
bernd_gaertner 0 Posted July 26, 2001 I agree that the boy is distracting. Concerning the dead look: I don't know what you're talking about, Charles. The fact that you didn't get her attention is no problem for me. Quote Link to comment
