About Reading is more important today that it ever was. It is crucial to being an informed citizen and for personal fulfillment. Reading is the fundamental skill of mankind, with reading we expand our tiny world to the vast universe and beyond.
After finishing house work, the lady gave some time to reading her newspaper.
These 2 containers on the left side (called Zeer in Arabic) are traditional pottery water containers that keeps water cool by loosing water (sweating) through its porous wall, it's made of a special type of clay and it's widely used by the poor people. There is a cup on top of the "Zeer" on the left.

A very good shot Khaled. However, I think that the lady is not actually reading but she is just looking at the pictures. With this environment shown in the picture it is very rare that the lady would know how to read and write. I have also another remark about the primitive repair of the window slots. The shot is very descriptive and I like it very much.......GOOD WORK MY FRIEND.....

Hi Khaled, I loved this photo, mostly: the shadow of the tree branches on the wall and the red planket in the right corner made a great balance with the Zeer on the left corner, great photo.

For a documentary photo this is also very artistic. It has good color and is very nicely composed. I like the background detail, the shadows on the blue-green wall. The red color of the blanket gives another color dimension to the image and makes it more interesting and attractive. The mood is excellent, it helps the picture say its message. Very beautiful image, Khaled.

Excellent capture Khaled and great composition, i like the background in here and the mood, your capture is really nice as usual, and you can add to the Zeer's information, it is the first filter used in the history, as the Pharaohs used to use it to filter water 7000 years ago, interesting about, very well done Khaled, and keep up the good work, regards,

Excellent composition!

It is an efficient means to refresh the water, vastly used in Portugal before the spreading of refrigerators.
Curiously I have already seen, in a region of southern Portugal, a modern and ingenious way to do the same: a soaked woolen sleeve around a plastic bottle :)

Excellent shot, Khaled! The shadows against the wall are fantastic, as is the lovely balanced composition formed by the window and the two zeer. I have to disagree with Samer - the addition of the woman not only further balances the composition in a triangle, but adds immesurably to the 'story' in this image! I love her posture and the intensity in her face as she reads the paper. Perhaps a touch more light in her face would be nice, but that's a minor detail!

Very nice environmental shot, Khaled, and how true your "about". Education has to be the most valuable commodity in any nation.
Thanks for your comments.

Without the lady I would rate it 7++++ as an art work expressing the Egyptian poor culture...
The lady presence will make it 4 for me.
The best thing you have in here is ?el batania?.
It?s flashing in the shot.
Shadows on the lady are very poor.
Shadows on the background are very good.
I don't know if you meant to do so...
And keep it up.
