Mongolian Mother with Children

Early May 2008, in a Yurt in the Altai Mountains of Western Mongolia.

This is the season when the animals of the nomad herders give birth.The weakest among the newborn are kept in the ger, where they grow uptogether with the children.

I appreciate your comments and rating. Karl

My only suggestion is that you keep photographing - your portfolio is fantastic! Great images throughout, and this one is just wonderful-

The lighting, focus and exposure is all near perfect, maybe the child on the right should be closer to the mother. A really heart-warming photo Karl.

Nice one. Like the lighting and soft colors very much... It must be a wonderful experience to visit Mongolia.

Outstanding portrait, in August Sander�s tradition. Love it, thanks for sharing

Thanks Carsten for introducing me to August Sander, a great portrait photographer with a particular style and mission: Freeze the moment to protect the world from changing? It is impossible, but sometimes one is tempted to try it, like here in Mongolia, where the nomadic lifestyle is an endangered culture. Karl

Very dramatic and interesting image. I think their facial expressions are priceless. The details are sharp and the light is great. I enjoy the commentary. Wonderful work.

Very good light and composition. Seems like an old painting. Warm regards

a beautiful composition of interesting people. I love the smile on mother's face, but wonder at the seriousness of the children.....Bert

Very nice capture,congrat

 

 

What a lovely photograpgh! I wish there was slightly more room around them--they seem a little squeezed into the frame--but nonetheless it is fine work showing great compassion.

Lovely details Karl. Love to shoot like this when I go to Mongolia in October/September
