[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shot in the shanty town/slum area of bakau, the gambia, i visisted this family on a number of occasions. After taking quite a few portraits, i wanted to shoot the whole compound and the goings on. I feel that this photo encapsulates the mood with the mothers cooking food in the background and Amie, the little girl running of after being told off. Used fill in flash to lighten Amies features. Taken as raw, resized and sharpened after increasing contrast.

I like it very much. POV is great - it makes my eyes flow thru the picture from mothers to that little child...I like also B/W and the contrast!

Well done !

BONSOIR PAUL!
Une image particulièrement touchante! La mise en scène est fabuleuse avec cette petite fille au regard tellement expressif à l'avant-plan!L'arrière-plan est riche et les poules qui courrent au milieu donnent un joli équilibre. Le POV est parfait, de même que le choix du N&B!
Félicitations pour ce si beau travail!
Luci
