A new day on the walk, a photo from Toliara, South

Photographer's Note

I still remember the people walking along the sandy paths, the air so pure and that magic light...

Wow, beautiful, the little girl looking back at you, walking down the path. The light is perfect. I like the relatively centered composition, this works well in portrait format.

Hi Luca,
Great composition,
I like this young child looking back fascinated by you ...
Great pov and dof.
It's a pity that the mom do not have a clear clothing to see the face of the baby that she carries on its back.
TFS,
Corinne

Hi Luca, A very impressive road of sand, I can feel it's atmosphere well in this scene. It's the kind of road I love; off the beaten track, close to local people and plenty of photo opportunities! You ceased yours very well. I like the framing a lot, but what really makes this image precious is the little girl looking back at you with her curious eyes. Lovely too how the mother holds her hand as well as her sandals. Nice work! Sabine

PS Perhaps using the dodge tool in Photoshop very lightly might have made her face just a touch more visible.

Commovente immagine, Luca.
Tanta gente che cammina, cammina... ricordo anche in Sud Africa tanta gente che camminava in strade linghissime, distanti centinaia di chilometri dai luoghi abitati: mi sono sempre sembrati qualcosa di biblico.
Ben applicata la DOF. Mi dovrai raccontare di questo viaggio in Mozambico, lo hai descritto o raccontatoda qualche parte ?
Ciao!
Livia

Luca, your text along this image is so dammed moving! Brings tears to my eyes, actually. You have an unbelievable talent to record the human soul. In this one, I am particularly touched by this vertical sandal and, of course, the turning little one , staring at you as she goes away .... Very, very touching indeed! A HUGE smile to you, --amz.

Ciao Luca,
ottimo PdV ed eccellente prospettiva. Una foto malinconica,ma molto bella. La signora con il cappello di paglia ricorda epoche passate del colonialismo. Mi piace anche come hai immortalato la bambina che a differenza della madre si è voltata verso di te.
Complimenti e buona serata.

Hi Luca,
Very beautiful shot of daily life in Madagascar. The most positive point for your photo is that the little girl is watching you. I like it :)
Wisely selected shallow DOF. Good composition for walking mother and thier children in front of the path.
Best,
Reza
