I can note that they are always prepared for these wet seasons, she is in her boat too and only one of her neighborhood could be painted.

Interesting–but what is she doing? An explanation would make the picture even more interesting.

This is a great shot for kids in the western world to study- comparing clothes, housing, transportation etc. Maybe seeing what little she has would make them stop and think about how materialistic western kids are. What is she thinking? Maybe she would like to be in school!

This shot has a lot of content in it. it transmits information and has a very good sense of motion. I must say that you should be proud of this shot even because it has so much good content in it. Very good

The browns and the very ruggedness in the background really make the shot here. Fantastic use of DOF here works perfectly. An amazing shot to have in ones portfolio. Well done.

Wonderful shot. I wonder if she is trying to hide her face from the camera so it won’t capture her soul!
