    I am in the minority here. Technically this is very good pix. But, like Janet Cull, I was at first more disturbed by it than impressed by the obvious excellent photographic elements per se. I was just about to write something rather scathing about the use of young children in certain kinds of photos, when I read Gundega Dege’s insertion about this being a pix of the photographer’s children and a moving reason for the expression on their faces. Well, for me the lesson was: If it is true that a photo tells more than a 1 000 words, then one should make quite sure you read the right text before commenting on the expressions and body language of the people (be it small and not so small) in it.

    ... wat sou my laat dink het dit is hoegenaamd nie 'n 'donker' foto nie - ek sien net oral lig uitbreek. Net die huis, wolke, twee bome en voorgrond sou ook vir my baie goed gewerk het.

    Hi Hani, thanks for viewing! I think the picture should be seen in context of the short piece of info I have given with the picture. It is incredible to see how the people of Addis Ababa are working to make things work. Almost next to this pix spot on an informal market street, is a steel and glass high rise building going up.... with scaffolding made from timber. It is an example of how First and Third World economies meet, which to my mind, is newsworthy.

    The informal shopping sector in Addis Abeba plays an important role

    in the city's financial life. After hours, this boy waits in a

    shopping stall to be taken home. Comments and ratings are

    appreciated. Thanks for viewing.

    Hi Vanya, do not ask me how p.n. ratings work. There are two other pics of kids running with this one, but they are just p&s snap shots. One got 5/5. I am not capable of saying anything smart about the technique, but this I know: This picture tells a story. Best, asdeb

    Hi Arnold, Tnx for the comment - are you still available to PS at 50c per shot? Then 'we' can get rid of those ugly bench supports, though I thought they kind of look like the legs of the shadow on the poster.
