[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The same boy as in my longing for.. shot previously.
Loved the way he was holding this stick which was holding up the washing line. He just stared at me while i was able to snap away with his mothers permission. Reduced saturation, increased contrast in his eyes. Taken in Raw format.

Nice shot.

This is a good example of how to break the conventions, normally people would shoot children from a lower perspective, but this perspective from above makes the kid look even more lost and longing.

This shot might also work really well in Sepia. Did a workshop and it looks pretty cool. Hope you like it.

Technically, excellent. The focus is good and on the eyes perfect.

Striking shot, it's telling a story about the boy's life and way of life. Well done !!

This is a fabulous shot. Beautiful depth of field. Great eye contact. I wonder what must have been going on in the head of this little guy. Very good crop: cutting off the elbows, as it were, brings you closer in experience to the very strong focal points, the eyes. But the fingers of the right hand also give interest to the pic, so eyes can wander. You were pretty lucky with the shorts he has as well: it nicely fades into the blurred edge of the field of view... Congrats!

Extremely moving photo. Very expressive. Wonderful colours. I like the way the sharpness fades toward the bottom. Great picture!

  • Great
