Andre,
Quite honestly, I was looking through the newsfeed and saw this thumbnail. The first words out of my mouth were, "Whose is this wonderful picture, Wow! so much life!" It is fantastic. Very different from other shots of yours that I have seen. It is emotional. There is a lot of feeling there and a real openness to the expression. You have done a fabulous job with this one. Let me know if I may use it on Indaba. Just lovely, really, Andre.
Best Regards,
Noelle

Andre du Plessis Thank you for the nice words Noelle, and of course you may use this in Indaba. Regards, Andre

Phyllis Clarke 9 months ago

Andre..it is a fortunate man indeed who has a woman with that look of love, and contentment in her eyes as she looks/thinks about him. Beautiful couple and processed beautifully to show his character too. As always congratulations...Phyllis

Andre du Plessis Thank you Phyllis. As I mentioned to Codrin down below - for me this picture really summed up my thoughts on this quiet couple. Few belongings they have, and no luxuries, but there seemed an inner warmth that one can sense.

Stefan Babel 9 months ago

Very good contrast - in tones as well as in subjects, well done!

Colmar Wocke 9 months ago

My Warrior - takes on a whole new meaning this week!

Andre du Plessis You bet - but then you yourself will know that the desired articles down there might not be flat-screen TV's - rather something for the tummy. Thanks for the comment Colmar, and I wish you a wonderful trip down to Namibia. Of course - we expect!!

Samanta Krivec 9 months ago

If those eyes could speak....
Very expressive photo, great bw!

Andre du Plessis Those eyes did speak while I was there, and although Nicky was quite self-conscious during this take, I feel that this expression encapsulates what I perceived while there. Thanks Samanta.

Codrin Lupei 9 months ago

Truly an excelent image Andre, like it a lot! Congrats!

Andre du Plessis Thank you Codrin! I have to add that this couple, both unemployed and feeling the squeeze, were so nice to me, and made me promise that I shall go and see them again in December when I am down there again. I could have titled this My Warrior: My Love, and it might not have been inappropriate

Saad Salem Al Sheihk. 9 months ago

Her look is a killing one ,and I do not care abut anything else.

Andre du Plessis She was a bit self-conscious initially (who won't be), however, started to really enjoy this as we played with different expressions and postures. This was towards the end of my visit there, so by now everything was easier. Regards to you Saad Salem.

Rolando (olly) 9 months ago

What looks like knife scars on the chap, this Could also be called "My Totsi" :-)
Excellent work again Andre.

Andre du Plessis Yes, I thought about that title as well, but decided against it because Gregory seemed so quiet and gentle. Maybe there was a previous life:), but that was certainly not obvious to me during this first acquaintance. Thanks olly.

Alexander Gubin 9 months ago

Emotional one!!

Andre du Plessis Thank you Alexander

Ricky Siegers 9 months ago

simply beautiful, I like the way you manage this picture Andre. So soul full !

Andre du Plessis Thanks Ricky. Those scare belies the gentle nature of Gregory. This is Nicky, his wife, leaning on his shoulder. I met them when I went hunting to find Lorraine, who is on two pics in my PF http://1x.com/photos/latest-additions/#!/photo/28047/portfolio/14976 and http://1x.com/photos/latest-additions/#!/photo/27633/portfolio/14976 Quite a 4-wheel drive into the bush to get to this place. Lorraine had moved on, and this couple lived in the adjoining house. I thought that I might as well photograph them, as it was such a journey to get there.
Here they are photographed outside the back door of this house where Nicky was born, and which has been passed down the family for two generations.

Ricky Siegers Very inspiring Andre, I like it a lot. Such a simple composition but with such deep impact and thought !
