[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the second portrait photo of the nice Himba boy. He was very cooperative and didn't seem to mind the all the attention. Kept on smiling all the way.

PP is different from previous postings. I've read a article explaining curves so I gave this a try. At least now I know a little more about this feature.

Superbe! Belles teintes saturées, l'espace laissé à gauche fait respirer la photo. Bref j'adore!

Great portrait Edwin, well composed, sharp and perfect background. Would have been even better if the top and bottom were complete, but this is only a minor nit.
Good Work!
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

A SUPERB PORTRAIT, thanx, M, (*_*)


sorry, no more points...doh

penetrating eyes. I think that it's ok to have the top of the head cut off a bit but maybe if his chin was in the composition it would have been stronger since it seems slightly tilted..a bit askew. Good striking image though.

Cutting the chin bothers me a bit, but for the rest, this is a superb portrait. The pose and look are great, the control of the DOF is great, the composition is great. ANd what about those colours! Nice job!

... great portrait again, Edwin. I might have not cropped the chin, just a thought. but nevertheless, a fantastic "encounter" with this boy. Fabulous!
