Hey, you forgot to correct Azrim

Thing is, the comments demonstrate how uninformed most people are about the rest of the world. I mean, one of the main things about African culture (generally speaking) is that the women do the hard work. And in numerous places where I've been in Africa, a man wouldn't be caught dead carrying water or firewood, if there's a woman present. She would do that. Wonderful photo and exquisite lighting.

A moving photo... the emotion captured in the facial expression is very expressive.
Would you mind if i used it as a source images for a painting? I would give you full credit of course.

I would like to use it in an artwork that would be entered in this exhibition:
"The United Africa Society - a High School based initiative to increase solidarity among African countries - is holding an art competition. The aims are to create an artistic response to the xenophobic violence in South Africa in the forms of prose, poetry and art. We are hoping to exhibit these works at the Cape Town Holocaust Museum. If you are a South African student and you’re interested in this project please ask me for more details"

Thank you very much

My friend, ~zaka-xox , is involved with organising it. Perhaps you would find it more useful to speak directly with her?
The info I gave you was quoted directly from her DeviantART journal.

This is a wonderful portrait and the man expression tells us the heat and some kind of exhaustion. Nothing to say about the contrast and the focus (very good). well done
