I took this photo in Gorom-Gorom, a small village near the Sahara, Burkina Faso of West Africa. Two women were saying good morning to each other at the well.

HI Jaeghie. The angle of the shot is not so good - u should have moved the bicycle and then shot. U could also crop the top which does not add to the photo.Good idea and thx for sharing...Collette

I have to agree that this one does not tell a complete story, so, the picture just doesn't grab the moment.

The rich color of the wall and the clothings could make interesting pictures.

Unfortunately, the bicycle in the front is distracting. And the broad direct sun doesn't make interesting picture.

Thanks for your critique. I am sorry that the sunlight is too strong, but I couldn't help it. I took this photo early in the morning, at 6:40 a.m. when the sunlight is the weakest. I was in the Sahara!
