A Wow photo. Emotion combined with light and composition at its best.

wonderful

The contrasts between the rolling landscape and the vertical figures, the landscape and the square things carried by the women, are lovely.

Great shot! Visually interesting and emotional...

There are many wonderful images, but this one invokes so many powerful feelings. The loneliness of the trek, the way they are atretched out single file, and the huge objects balanced on their head make my heart and body ache for them. These are proud women - look at how they carry themselves - doing what must be done.

Very nice composition

There are moments when I'm reminded that I live on a planet, floating in space. Accompanied with a vague awareness of my mortality.

This image invoked those sentiments.

Its aesthetic is graceful and flowing. If they're bare footed, I can almost feel the soft sands.
