this photo has a very adorable subject although the angle in which it was took should have been facing right on rather than from up above. It is also unfortunate that his head is so close to the top of the picture.

Your composition, while good, lacks any real emotion. The lighting is all over the place and the poor fella looks like he probably needed concelling after you invaded his village. Suggest you get someone else to take your pictures in the future.

Griff, yes, a sad little boy indeed, and you did well in capturing that expression. The colours are most appealing in this image and I like the perspective you chose. But, it seems to me the photograph is significantly out of focus and whatever that is directly behind the lad detracts seriously from this work
Peace,
Papa

THis is a very emotional shot. The angle youtook it at accentuates his sadness. I would have liked to see something in the backround that helps explain why he is sad. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

You bring such a sadness with this shot, that pleads and tugs with the emotion that drives this piece. The face could use a little more focusing to add to the sharpness of his jacket, bare feet blending into the dry earth and the shorts. I think the sandtoned earth framing this pleading child is just right with its shadowed highlights.
