Description
This is the land who belongs to Sidi and Sala. They are living in Northern Senegal and we met them thanks to our friend Serge, who is in this country since many years. As you can see in this picture, the ground is mainly made of sand. But a well, which was dug some years ago, allows to grow many vegetables which (with the cattle and the poultry) are feeding this big family. I thank Elcet for the postwork of this image.
Voici le terrain qui appartient à Sidi et à Sala. Ceux-ci résident au Nord du Sénégal, et nous les avons rencontrés grâce à notre ami Serge. Ce dernier vit dans ce pays depuis de nombreuses années. Comme vous le voyez sur cette image, le sol est constitué essentiellement de sable. Mais un puits, creusé il y a quelques années, permet de cultiver des légumes très variés qui, avec le bétail et la volaille, nourissent la grande famille. Je remercie Elcet pour la post-production réalisée sur cette image.
Techdata: Nikon D50 with Nikkor 3.5-4.5/18-70 Pro ED at shortest focal length and full aperture, 1/1250s, auto-white balance for the main photo. As most of people were turned back, we added a cute young girl in the foreground, taken from another photo, to the BG image. We had the chance that her lighting was just the same, in fact I shot her some minutes away of the BG image and in the same environment. She is one of the many children of the family. We pasted her on the landscape, and she was isolated thanks to a Layer Mask. It is not a true panorama, just a cropped wideangle shot. Postwork done in Photoshop CS3 Extended.
You can see two other images taken the same afternoon here:
"An afternoon of happiness"
"Two girls and a knife"

Fantastic and tender feeling image. Great capture.
Superbe, la petite fille à l'avant plan est magnifiquement jolie ^-^
Un pano superbe mis en valeur par le personnage de l'avant plan qui respire toute l'insouciance de l'enfance (africaine). Une scène de la cité africaine sénégalaise bien représentative. A mon avis la plus aboutie des compositions de ta galerie
i love that expression on the little girls face!!! fabulous pano and capture!!!
A very wonderful shot! The girl in the forground really makes this photo more than just a view of the scene but draws the viewer into their world a little bit.
Superbe scène de vie africaine. Quel équilibre fantastique dans ce panoramique avec en avant plan ce merveilleux portrait. Toutes mes félicitations pour cette remarquable composition.
SPLENDID & BEAUTIFUL PANO !!!!!!
Wonderful panorama
fantastic scene, great capture
The little girl in the foreground is so cute! This creates an interesting opposition with the panorama format of the BG image.
fantastique pano !
