Very nice documentary shot and also well composed with a smiling woman in front and and the other in BG.
Although it was taken in the mid day when sun is so strong, I like this shot very much.

Hello Matteo,
This is a fabulous shot, but entirely under appreciated with two points from the 112 people who have viewed it before me. I like the composition, with the woman in the back present. I might have made the woman in the foreground in sharper focus. Otherwise, accompanied by a note that is more complete than the Rosetta Stone which gives only three languages, you've regaled us all with four. I am very much impressed by your facility with languages!
Warm regards,
Bulent

Ciao Matteo,
davvero ottima e purtroppo sottostimata... C'è tutta l'energia della donna africana in questo scatto ed anche la composizione è di livello.
Vedo anche che sei un perfetto poliglotta: complimenti!

Ciao Matteo,
tra le foto della tua ultima pagina della gallery questa è quella che preferisco.
Mi piace il sapiente uso del tele, l'inclusione della donna in secondo piano, l'armonia dei colori... e quel sorriso!

Hi Matteo,
I like portrait, it especially with this big smile and she exudes happiness. The colors are the lighting are superb, great sharpness. Beautiful picture clarity and the vertical framing gives a lot of depth.
Thank you for sharing.
Good evening.
John
