PINEAPPLE GIRL Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pineapple is one of the common fruits in Cote d Ivoire. It’s very cheap and available everywhere.
That was not an exception when we found this lady with pineapple at ASINI BEACH.
I requested this lady to allow me to frame her in my camera.
Day was very sunny as such it came little over exposed shot.
Still you may like it…

Excellent view of a typical daily life scene in Africa; we don't see too many people in the UK carrying goods on their heads. I like the way you have used the DOF to isolate your subject from the background.

Good shot Mahmud! You could have gone in even closer. DOF is nice, but why not < f/3.3? I think she would have smiled if you bought one. (: TFS, Gilbert

Excellent composition Don.. Nice work with the DOF. I dont think the shot is over exposed .. it seems quite ok to me .. I think a wider aperture setting would have resulted in more DOF effect. Try it next time. Good color tones on the dress, pinaapples.. and I agree.. u should have bought one from her to make her smile :D lolzzzzzz Keep shooting
