The hidden baby, a photo from Praia, Sotavento

Photographer's Note

I thought this woman against the plain wall would make a nice picture. Only when I saw the photograph on my computer screen did I notice that she had a baby hidden away, only one arm visible.

Hi Gert,
There is beauty everywhere, even in poor places, of course. The young woman with her bright dress, it's a strong contrast with the harsh background. Maybe the young woman is giving milk to the baby.
Regards,
Francisco

we can't see the baby's face but i hope it looks happier than the mother ;)
a nice capture for sure, the yellow - white contrast is nice.

Beautiful shot, I love the woman's bright dress and her sad face, very poignant.

A nice portrait, Gert. I like the color contrast of the pastel background and forground against the bright yellow of the lady's scarf. Nicely seen and captured. On a nit-picking note: it seems, the focus is not on the lady's face, but on the wall.

Best,
Kristaps

Hello Gert,
Realized she was holding the baby right away, though she looks very very sad, for some reason.
Good contrast from the yellow beautiful shawl.
Nice spotted moment.
Regards,
Ike

Hi Gert,

The woman is well placed in the frame. You have captured well her expression lost in her toughts. The point of view is showing the detailsw of her clothings. Have a nice day.
