Scen on the way tothe capital city -Asmara.The people were selling fruits planted on the fields seen from the road.The boy is presenting his foot-the sandals he wears are common in Erytrea and play as the important symbol.During the war with Ethiopia solders wore this kind of shoes and won!there was even the big monument of the sandal in the capital city but by the time we arrived it has been removed.

ohh wow!
What a punch i took in my stomach! what a great photo!
Love the mood, the composition.
Actually i don't quite like the B&W tone, i would rather prefer it more edgy.

That foot in the picture is quite disturbing! There also is a focus problem. Advice: Stop down at least to f8 if not f11, which would have helped your exposure a bit as well.
