, 1/1000 f/2.2, ISO 160, hand held. Wayanad, India.

Non sapevo se caricare o meno questa foto, perchè considero quell'incontro un po' speciale e sicuramente personale. Stavo camminando in una stradina in mezzo alla giungla, ad un paio di km dalla casa del mio amico indiano, quando ho visto questa donna giacere sulla "porta" della sua "abitazione". Volevo farle una foto, ma ero un po' in imbarazzo. Così, prima ho salutato con la mano. Lei, però, mi ha fatto capire che voleva qualcosa da me. Così ho preso coraggio e dalla stradina, ho fatto il giro ed ho camminato fino a lei. Dopo uno "scambio" di cibo e denaro (da parte mia), e di preghiere (da parte sua), saluto e mi allontano per tornare dov'ero. Mentre scattavo, lei ha preso un mango e me l'ha offerto. Era tutto quello che aveva da darmi in cambio. Sono tornato da lei, ho accettato la sua gentile offerta e me ne sono andato, in preda a strane emozioni. Wayanad, Kerala - India

The story is beautiful but I don't like the composition. The vegetation in the foreground in my opinion covers the image too much.
I hope you are not offended!
Greetings
