Artist's Comments

Carlos Escobar [link] has been my inspiration ever since i became a [link] member. I would like to dedicate this photograph to the wise old man.

Shot this shepherd boy yesterday.
His bro & father were along with him with about 350-300 sheeps.
Some members of his family had apperently got off a bus in the next village. So me & my friends were asked to deliver a message to them by his Dad. I got to take his picture in the meanwhile. !!!



This devaition is a part of the B&W contest [link]

Nice portrait, but I'm not sure the B&W is the best choice... I'm curious how this would look in color.. :)

Nice exposure but: too much head room, and I can feel your presence in his eyes.
