Photographer's Note
Lunch stop for the driver at Betioki so... photographic stop for me!
In a small courtyard I noticed these two lovely twin having their bath... Impossible not to try to get almost a shot! They were already a bit on the alert due of the presence of a friend of mine so I choose to use the long lens to be more discreet and don't disturb their sights.

wonderful, Lucas. it is so fitting to the impact and light-heartedness of the image that the basin and bucket are just a bout a notch bigger than those cute little bathers.... The second one is a bit more expressive with her face and arms, but both draw a smile to our face.

Luca, every piece of your gallery is a collectors' item. In my native Dominican Rep., this was a frequent scene, seening the children bathing themselves on a plastic container. But you have gone beyond, you have capture the soul and espontainity (however is the right way to write that word) of the moment. Thanks.
Best regards,

Only 2 children and 2 buckets. The light is good - and so is the natural background.
Really really good!!

Hi Luca, Absolutely gorgeous! When you come across a scene like that, I would get very nervous as I wouldn't believe what a perfect photographic scene I have in front of me. So beautiful and pure! Touching also, the way both little children hang on to each other, already pointing out their deep bound. You stayed very calm here, taking this shot with perfect sharpness and control. Great colour of the plastic buckets too and lovely light on the children's skin. Sublime image and a very precious moment, thank you! Sabine

Hi Luca,
A sublimely made up image with these two binoculars which take their baths in this basin, the colors are superb but it is the scene which is stronger all the same than all here.
Already ten people put it into favorite and that include understand.

Hiluca, it's a great pic, the simple composition of colors is interesting because colors are very contrasted, sharpness make us see all the littles details, the points of light bring life an dprevents the scene from being fixed. Well done

Bè...che dire di una foto così...vediamo:
-l'avrei voluta fare io
-che invidia
-stupenda, magnifica...bla bla bla
-capolavoro
-foto perfetta da National Geographic
-voglio un poster così grosso come una parete
...ma alla fine "l'avrei voluta fare io" credo sia la più giusta. una foto veramente unica, un gioiello assoluto, perfetta sotto ogni aspetto tecnico e veramente emozionante da vedere, rivedere e ancora stare a guardare.
complimenti Luca, veramente complimenti.

Unbelievable, this is a really wonderful shot! You somehow always seem to be at the right place... They look shy but still interested in what is going on (although I have the impression that the water seems to be a bit cold). The quality of your pictures is great and I like that you often really find the "details" of a situation which you then share with us.

But, while it's super adorable, I'm a little sad that they have to share this mini-tub and clean themselves. How old could they possibly be ?
