Face of Africa, a photo from North-West, East

Photographer's Note

My destiny lies beyond the Borders of Africa
My destiny lies beyond the majestic Maditerenean Sea
Not even I, can begin to define the greatness of my destiny
Because my destiny lies beyond the exotic animals of Africa

My destiny was planned,
iziHlwele ze (Indigenous language word for 'Ancestors of') Africa danced
Because my destiny was predstined in Mama Africa's bossom
while fighting for freedom my destiny was knitted in my mothers womb

My destiny is to Educate
And prejudice Iradicate

Our African rythm and curves will American girls intimidate
While leaving European men
unable to breathe and comprehend

That is where Wanelisa' destiny lies
IS THE WORLD READY FOR THE REVOLUTION THAT IS I?

Wanelisa Albert

Beautiful... the boy's expression was well captured. His eyes speaks...
Too tight cropped in my opinion.
Cheers

Merhaba Fulya,
Öncelikle TE e hoşgeldin,özellikle eski(2 yıl öncesi)güzel günlerini özlediğimiz Türk TE için yeni bir soluk olmuşsun.
Bakışıyla,duruşuyla,hokka gibi ağzı burnu vede hüzün hakim yüz ifadesiyle müthiş güzel bu Afrika yüzü,TE e ilk bakışta hemen dikkati çekiyor.Usta işi diğer karelerini de beğeniyle seyrettim.Gezi severliğin ve bunu fotograf heyecanı ile değerlendirmen ayrıca övgüye değer.Tebrikler ediyorum.Aktif üyeliğimi 2 yıl önce bitirmiştim ara sıra yorum yazıyorum, böylesi güzel galeriye bir merhaba demek istedim.Sevgi ve selamlarımla

merhaba Fulya Hanim. I tried to make sense of the poen which seems to be celebratory, yet it is also contradictory- all because of one word. instead of intimidate it should really be (in the spirit of the poem)imitate. I presume the little one is a girl.A sweet portrait.Eyes that question with confidence. Selamlar. Klaudio.

Good morning Fulya,
very nice the view of this innosent little face of the child of South Africa,with the tight frame of the image to be superb.I like the clarity of the image as the excellent light management.

Hi Fulya,
The tight cropping works well in this situation bringing us in close to focus on her beautiful face and features. A sweet portrait.

Hello Fulya,
Wonderful! I really like the tight crop that frames this child's face beautifully. The brightness in the eyes have been caught well. Excellent work.

Hi Fulya,

Wow, you have such a splendid gallery, I must look at it closer. Going to Africa is my long dream, but up to now not fulfilled. Amazing portrait, very beautiful, tight crop, butI like it very much.

Warm regards

Portre çalismayi ben de seviyorum.
ozellikle de çocuklari..

Gozlerine muhurlendim.
Yuzdeki proporsiyonlar harika.
Bal dudaklar, iki kucucuk burun deligi ve delici bakislar...

Tebrikler.
