Love this shot, it can go for a photo essay type entry. It tells a story. Nice work! #845947

Thanks for your comment. I contribute to a number of photo magazines, and hopefully this image will be included in one of the stories.

A very enlightening image that makes me stop and be thankful for my old washing machine. The mother in the image really must be a super mom. I pray the Lord will give her everything she needs spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially :) #5439300

thanks for your feedback on this photo. The terrain in this area is rather rustic, with people, on the average making less than $5 a day. It makes it hard to afford the things we take for granted. #5440834
