Very interesting! I love the yellow light behind the people. The siluets are beautiful! I love the hat and the vail that the people are wearing. Fantastic, Dennis!

The silhouettes are excellent indeed – there’s now way tot ell if they come from a cartoon or not, and that gives them an amazing extra dimension. And of course the yellow tone is amazing, especially the way it evolves throughout the sky from the sun to the left side. Also how this is transformed when it bounces on an object , like this tree in the background or on the dirt in the foreground, is very interesting. The fact it is the only colour is really great – rare are the occasions when that happens. A very sharp shot !

Very good shot indeed. I like the definition of the silhouettes, its so sharp and yet the subject remains mysterious. Once in a lifetime shot great work Dennis.

Very graphical poses. Was this candid camera or did you request them to pose for you?

Anurag asked if this was a candid or posed shot. Definitely candid. A jeep had run down a lane kicking up a bunch of dust. I quickly ran down the road and grabbed a series of quick shots. I have some of people walking as well – maybe the subject of a future posting?

I am impresed by what you captured candidly. Just a family going down the road through their daily travails in thier native fasion. I really like this shot. As others have mentioned, it certainly tells the viewer a story…Of a world away, a world we do not understand well, but we are brought to expertly by you! Great work, Dennis…;)
