Photographer's Note
A simple daily scene in the beautiful and colourful Island of Goree.
Situated near Dakar, this small Island with no cars is today a World Heritage and a symbol of the slave trade. First ruled by the Portuguese and then by the Dutch, English and French, this was a point of departure for many African slaves from 15th to 19th centuries.
In spite of its sad history, Gorée is a very beautiful Island with colourful houses and besides the impressive places where slaves were kept, we can also see many nice houses built for the slave traders, churches...

Bonjour Ana,
Quel beau moment de la vie quotidienne. Ces dames ont des vêtements traditionnels de toute beauté et on dirait qu'elles font une parade de mode. J'aime beaucoup la luminosité sur l'ensemble.

Ciao Ana
anche in questa la principale caratteristica è la semplicità.
Le tue foto di questo viaggio sono tutte riprese di vita quotidiana ed anche per queste ancor più belle perchè al reportage hai sempre unito una otytima composizione ed un eccellente uso del colore.
Complimenti
Ciao e buona serata

Hola Ana
Bella composición. La ropa de las mujeres es interesante y las fachadas muestran unas ventanas típicamente francesas.

Hello Ana,
Excellent colourful snapshot in very good light. I like the women natural position, without posing for your camera. Also the surrounding with small houses and the greenery is very nice. Typical photo from rural Africa.
I never been in Senegal, I was only in Kenya and Tanzania. Your photo remind me very much to my stay in Tanzania (only the soil in Tanzania is more red, otherwise not much difference). Thanks for posting it.
Wish you a nice weekend.
Greetings
Miro

Hi Ana,
The three women look very happy, I hope that they really like that. Usually from this part of the world only ugly pictures come to me. This one is so positive!

Hi Ana
Good street people photography filled with vibrant colors with so much detail around to view while keeping those three wise women as central focal of interest. Indeed lots of stories or perhaps gossiping going on there that catches our attention, interesting colourful characters too and the big mama is eyeing on you Ana! This is an attractive daily life depicting the local going about her daily lives and a good spot to shoot make them tell the story. Great work with the camera, focus and dof are just spot on, I love the richness of colours surrounding them, A very well done effort and tfs.
Best regards

Hello Ana,
This is a very fine photo of these well dressed women among the old buildings. The woman walking towards us expresses a lot of self-confidence and dignity. Travelling through a lot of African countries I have been deeply impressed by so many strong and proud women who have been working hard to keep not only their families but the entire society together in times of war or just poverty. Too many times I have seen men destroy and women rebuild.
Technically this is also a very good photo with fine colours and sharpness and very well handled light.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ana,
I love this picture of a simple daily life scene that looks to me fascinating like a work of art. You've captured the scene with impressive timing so that the ladies are placed excellently. Their postures and interaction are interesting and the scene is so natural and vivid. There's remarkable balance and rhythm due to your well considered framing that has made the most of the setting, the movement, of eye-catching elements as well as details. I like very much how the ladies are surrounded by this richness without being overwhelmed. Lighting and colours are wonderful. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Fascinating pictures from Senegal...all of them
Loved the dresses they are weraing...so gorgeous and rich!
The fworn out facades are nice with traces of pastel shades...
Its interesting to note that people who practised the horrendous job of slave trading build churches
