Great story to go with the cultural moment.
The boys smile is first, then his bare feet, then the path to the buffalo, then the background trees -- great composition that made me explore the photo. TFS. K2

Hi Hans

A superb daily life scene, with good inclusion of the boy & the buffaloes. There were hundreds of these beggar kids at Poi Pet, on the Thai border, when I went to Cambodia in January 2002. The authorities have since moved them on, because they were pestering tourists too much. Sad, but true. Tfs!

Hello Hans,
This is such a wholesome image. I can tell you are a prepared and a well read traveler. I also carry $1 bills for the same purpose, and it gives me much pleasure - sort of give and take. Love the expression on the water buffalo, sort of like asking 'what's up?'. My best regards on a damp day in Wash D.C. Danilo

I really enjoyed reading your note which goes so well with this picture. I've had alot of similar situations in the Philippines. The lighting and colors here are very nice as is the lighting. This makes me smile. Thanks!
