Hi Michael,
funny POV with the kid not at ease on the donkey. But in a way, that's not to fun : they have to work instead of going to school or play in the street.
Good light

Very nice shot. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Morocco. Just to comment on Yaya13baut. this kids are not working they are doing it for the fun of helping their families. And they feel very happy if the adults let them do something to help and have the fun to ride the donkey. BTW, education is obligatory in Morocco and kids enjoy their time after school the way they like it. Notice the cleaneless of their clothes reflecting how the parents are taking care of them and their houses. is this the look of working kids??
One more points, People from chefchaouen have the highest levels of education in Morocco and most of them are holding the best jobs in rabat and casablanca...
