Hi Abdullatif, this is the B/W virgin of the image, I thought that the color and the print of her dress "Galabeya" is wonderful so I decided to upload it as it is without desaturation.
Tell me what do you think.
Looking forward to sharing more photos with you on UF, regards,
Khaled.

A beautiful feeling to this photo Khaled, the expression of acceptance on her face, the wonderful colors and the great lighting. I like how you have givin us a piece of the water source and the method of transport (head) used all over the world. Alison

hi khaled,
well, the DOF is good
I like your comment on the shot as usual.
i don't like the crop (top and bottom).
shadows are poor.
i don't like it overall ya khaled.
sorry for this.
but the shot has got a lot of weak points.

Rebecca Raybon   {K:26654} 11/1/2004
Beautiful colors, dof, and her expression is amazing. Not one of boredom or " grumpy because I have to go get water", but just pleasantly surprized. The kids here in the USA don't know how good they have it. Thanks for sharing these images.

Hi Ameed and Omar,
I agree with you both about the "toromba" and in addition I wished that the container above her head was complete, but I was moving in my car when I found her filling it from the pump, so I parked my car and tried to capture her quickly from the window, she refused to stand or pose for me, but on the contrary, she started to walk quickly to prevent me from taking her a photograph.
Thanx my dear friends for your nice comments and support, my best regards,
Khaled.

Very nice capture Khaled, I like the composition in here allot, the colours are wonderful, the DOF is perfect. But I am with Omar about the Torombah, I think it would add to the composition, becarful with such pictures, not all the village girls good receptive for having their pictures taken, guard your life :)

Khaled,
Another very nice portrait. I like the natural expression and the handle on the edge.
I don't want to be picky, but somehow I feel I would like to see more of the pump! If the girl were more to the right then the pump would be in the picture too. But like this the pump handle is also very interesting, especially with the dripping water.
Best regards,
Omar
