About Found this woman with a group of followers next ot a close-by river collecting bark, leaves, roots etc. for the preparation of traditional medicine. Although South Africa has an advanced medical system, it is not readily available to the poorest of the population, while even healthy people still prefer the services of a traditional healer. The white clothing and clay around the eyes are, according to this women, to enhance their visibility to their forefarthers who reside underneath the water. To frighten the forefarthers by suddenly appearing next to the water is seen as a bad omen.

Portrait indeed excellent for my tastes. The expression of the woman is intense and particular and the tonalities are optimal. There is only a small detail that I would have preferred a little various one: the face a bit to fire. But this don't remove the beauty of the capture. Bravo! [sorry for mu bad English]
