Very interesting and educational. So much to see, the hair styles, headdresses, what they are selling, the geology around them .... fascinating to see how differently other people live. Nice lighting, clarity, composition. Thank you for sharing.

What an interesting place to visit Fred and your image shows the arid land well.

The colors appear to be spot on and the composition is excellent.

Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. Good composition, framing, focus and dof. Reminds me of the pictures we used to see in National Geographic when I was a youngster. When were you in Namibia? Thanks for sharing.

Interesting shot. Whether one takes an interest to examine the jewellery they are displaying or not is debatable! Did you buy anything to help them??:) Thanks for sharing an interesting picture and its history!

I was never breast feed as a child. How much for the girl on the Right! Evil grin...Lololol..oh I just couldn't resist Fred! Lol..my eyes immediately shot to her.. wink. Cool capture. Me I would saying let stare at that lovely jewelry on your chest. Oh yeah! Lol. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of these nice selection of gals is Great! The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. (A few left drooling) good eye and awesome work overall. (Clapping)

    if you have the opportunity, go to Southern Africa where you'll be able to be breast feed: the girls would be very happy to take care of you; lol;

Fred,
A beautiful & interesting picture of these Himba Ladies with their handmade Jewellery laid out on rugs in front of them Behind them two dwellings that look as if they are covered in dried Cow dung! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Never see a market like this before as your good looking image posted here reveals. Your fine and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of those vendors and the goods on sale. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!
