I just love shots that capture life as it is being lived. My favorite part of this shot are the boy in motion and the girl at the back with her face pressed against the post. I almost missed her. Is she sulking? doing penance? counting to ten in a game of hide-and-seek in which no one else is participating? There is a story here.
I am also fascinated by all of the wall hangings. Are they decoration, or items for sale?

These are gorgeous, Antonio! This and the 'long house' have such a special quality to them but I'm not sure why I feel that. I had the same thoughts as Janis as I looked around. Two thoughts - and I don't know what to think about my thoughts....  I'm positive that, of course, you've positioned everything in the frame just as you want it. There's something that's niggling at me, though. I think that it's a slight anxiety that the little boy is horsing around and he doesn't have enough room in the frame. (I'm sensitive to that situation, since I live with it daily.  ) I don't know if the thought is 'right' or 'wrong' and would love to know what you think so that I can learn. edit: I think that what's weird about the framing is that my screen is small and it took me a moment to realize that there's more to the photo on the right - I just had to scroll over. I prefer it at this size, though - even though it doesn't all fit on my tiny screen. Also, I was drawn to look at the woman in the center of the frame - the main story seems to be about her interaction with the prancing little boy. It took me a while to notice the woman with her arm around the first, looking at us. I don't know exactly how to explain it but, I've been to so many museums, this year, and it's a way of storytelling that seems very, very familiar from all of the great paintings that I've seen. I don't know what that's all about - I just feel it. |

I love this one Antonio. There is a lot going on but these little cameos within the scene draw me in. The child with her face against the post in the background actually makes this shot for me. Its all so natural and the conversion is superb  |

Are they decoration, or items for sale? Thank you for commenting I do not know what the girl was doing there. She is doing now a very good work: helping the composition of the frame. Without her the image would have so much impact. The hanging on the walls were items to sell to the tourists. |

Thank you Kay for your comments I am sure you would be very happy with a 27" Mac store.apple.com/us/configure/MC814LL/A?select=select&product=MC814LL%2FA |

Its all so natural and the conversion is superb It is indeed one of my good images I must recognize without false modesty. The other one I also like is the Domestic Violence I posted some days ago. I printed it and it is gorgeous. This one could also be a good choice for printing. But no. Too expensive and I wouldn't know where to place it. Thank you Steve |

Marvellous shots Antonio!  this one and the "long House" too I wouldn't have been so "fearless" to point the lens to them I mean: I'm usually so much embarassed to shoot towards people I don't know,  so I wouldn't be able to capture that kind of moments |

If you were in a tourist group and the hostesses were themselves you would be bold enough to take their pictures. Anyway, me, I ma very bold and I take lots of pictures of people after asking to do so of course... |

Very moving photo Antonio. It is always interesting to see well done human intrest type photos of places where I have not yet been. Places I feel I visit through photos such as this.

Antonio, I too, like this so much. There is only one person looking directly at us, but there are a whole lot of sub-stories going on in the picture. I like the tonal range too. Thanks for sharing with us. |
