Happy Birthday Ghana

The more I look at it, the more I think that this is the best shot I have ever taken. I can't describe it, everything just looks perfect. These two women are looking over the wall down to a beach that cost money to get onto, where thousands celebrated Ghana's 50th birthday. It looks like a studio, but I assure you its out in the street.. Best viewed large.

I love this. It couldn't have been captured any better, even if the shot was staged.
I agree that this is your best shot ever.
Keep it up!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Travel Photojournalism, and we'd love to have your excellent photo added to the group.

I can sympathise with your description! The 'perfection' (simplicity has power) comes across straight away - stillness, humour, contrasts, colours .... the simple touch on the arm. Very human.
