[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another portrait of a child in that small village at the north of Senegal near the border of Mauritania.
I love his expression and smile. He is eating a biscuit I gave him. You can see him also on my other photos of children taken the same day.

Senegal is the country of "Teranga" which means "hospitality".

Hi Sylvie,
Wonderful portrait of a eating child, good choice of "silver" black-white colors.
Excellent done.

Best Regards,
Alex

bonjour Sylvie
elle est surement mignonne, mais la présence de la fillette derrière gache un peu le portrait, portrait qui est d'ailleurs très interessant au niveau de la pose , l'expression et la lumière, bon traitement sepia aussi
amicalement

Hey!
Nice portrait of one from the gang.
Great expression and smile, as you say. And great choice of a greenish black/white.
So you bribed them with biscuits before taking photos... :)

Sylvie, it ain't strikt B/W that I'm " sure " hmm ...
how you must catalog it : don't know, don't care, but I like it.
I love his expression :
very estimated ( wrong word in English - but read between the lines will you )
" You gave me ... what do you want in return ? "
( if that is " getting the picture " )

Question :
do you ask
" may I take youre photo " or just click ?
In Europe you can have some agression
" what are you doing ? "
in other countries they don't like at all taken their photo - something about religion ?

hello sylve
cette photo me fait retourner plusieurs années. La teinte de l'ensemble me donne cette idée et le résultat est bien réussi.
le bras sur la droite est bien a sa place, il fait le lien avec tes recherches.
