Oliver thanks for taking the time to help me see the image differently. I like the changes to the sky and the added light to the girl on the right. The story is there but I needed a different location to catch the steep rocky road and all the women carrying their produce to market. I liked this one because it looked like an endless journey to the valley below. Also their bare feet showed action which is definitely a plus. |

The story told when visiting the country side of Ethiopia is incredible. One that most Americans would not believe exists in modern times. They do not use modern day machinery because it would put too many people out of work. I have hundreds of images of families in their everyday lives working hard to survive. Thanks for posting your comments on my image. Without the story no one can imagine the hardships these people endure to survive unless have you traveled to third world countries and witnessed it with your own eyes. |

Not to argue with the comments above but there is no sky in the picture. The clouds are below 10,000 feet where I am standing and what you can see through the clouds 3,000 feet below is the valley where the town of Soddo is located. The clouds on the left and part of the mountain in the top center block the visibility of the town. Stuart's remake of the image gives the impression that the top right has some sky. I can assure you it does not. The image cannot talk but I was trying to convey the distance and rugged roads these barefoot women have to walk to get to the town market. I wish the town 3,000 feet below had been visible in the image. It may have depicted a better story. |

Good looking sunset. Not much for the animals to eat. |

Mark, what an incredible image. Great composition, colors and saturation, with a dramatic cloudy sky. All you had to do was make the image glow and you accomplished that to perfection. |

Not a chance that I could do it again today. I had an opportunity to do it again in 2013 but opted for a walk to photograph two water falls. |

Great details and colors in the flower. I like the S curve of the stem. My only minor suggestion would be to darken the stem at the bottom where it is brighter than the upper part of the stem. It tends to draw my eye away from the beauty of the flower. Well done. |

Stuart, Thanks for taking the time to give some ideas on how to improve the image. I agree with the crop on the right side. It helps deemphasize the girl on the right and focuses more on the two main ladies in the foreground of the image. I left the additional area on the right to emphasize the distance to town and put the girl 1/3 in the frame. I wish part of the town was visible in the distance. It was a day to remember and it took me three days to recover from the climb. I had to carry my camera gear, food and water for the day. I wore hiking boots. I don't know how they survive with bare feet. |

I like your image with the sky replaced in the original image. I like the angled tree on the left and its reflection in the water. The building and its reflection are good but could be improved if the top of the structure were included. My thoughts are usually the reflection is darker than the sky and the surrounding areas but that does not seem to be the case here. |

I like the magnifying glass with the bugs. I helps tell a story on how to look at the intricate details of the bugs. I am not so sure about the peanuts but it does help you visualize the size of the bugs. I like the composition and low angle of the exposure. Well done! On a side note did you try to take and image through the magnifying glass of the orange and black beetle. You could include part of a hand in the image holding the magnifying glass. |

I like the image better, as you do, flipped horizontally. The dog does blend well with the road and building. I do prefer the dog with a little less contrast as in the original image. The image has a good story to tell. Well done. |
