Mothers of Ghana Photo

Photographer’s Note

I thought they looked like a fabulous foursome, these beautiful women in their colourful clothes, belonging to the Akuapem tribe .

These mothers of Ghana were watching the children playing with hawk's eyes.

Hello Sabine. An interesting picture. The women observe their children. Nevertheless one does not know, what has to mean their view. They look somehow anxiously or disapprovingly. The photo is a good person study. The dresses, the faces, the colors, everything worth seeing. Greeting, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Sabine,
Une belle brochette de femmes avec des robes si colorées! Des expressions qui démontrent une attention pour quelque chose qui sort du cadre, mais que ta note nous donne.
J'aurais peut-être pris une plus petite ouverture pour que tes femmes soient toutes bien nettes et garder la même vitesse, les vêtements pâles me semblent un chouia surexposés. Mais ça, c'est un petit détail technique. Il n'enlève rien au charme de cette photo.
Tes photos d'Afrique sont vraiment toutes très belles et intéressantes. Bravo!
Claire

Dag Sabine,

ben je zeker dat het die kinderen hun grootmoeders niet zijn ? Ik weet wel dat veel Afrikaanse vrouwen er snel oud uit zien, maar deze zijn toch wel echt iets ouder, of vergis ik me zo sterk ? Wat me vooral opvalt hier is de gele kleur in hun ogen... reflectie ?

groetjes,

Luc.

This is a great one. So colorful. The clothing is interesting and it seems as if there is school in the background.

A great glimpse of daily like in a faraway place.

Great Job.
Aloha, Jb

The woman in the mauve top certainly has hawk eyes. Knowing how you connect so well women, with I was wondering when you would start uploading posts of them. Lovely colours and light here, Sabine.

Un quatuor de choc, tous les regards dans la même direction et quelles couleurs.
Bonne journée

Wow, wonderful expressions! Your timing was great to get these women so involved and concentrated. I like the grouping too. Well done!

Yes indeed. Those eyes are really absorbing... Your usual deep colors are here, the definition is good, the light too. I like it! It's glad to know that you shoot not only the kids, but their mothers too. Now I am waiting for a picture with both... :)

Hello Sabine,
et bien, on peut dire qu'elles sont attentives !
Belle collection d'habits et de foulards, une belle scène africaine.
Un poil d'hommage qu'un visage soit un peu masqué mais c'est un détail.

Await for your new images...
Best regards and a smile!

A wonderful capture of these characterful women. I like their faces, expressions and the colour and patterns of their clothes.
