Coming from below... Photo

Photographer’s Note

August 15, somewhere near the border between the provinces of Anseba and Northern Red Sea. I was together with two local geologists. We wanted to reach a location where a borehole is supposed to be drilled. This location was new and neither of us had any aidea whatsoever where to found it. We were driving through this raod and all of a sudden somebody came with his donkeys. We were told that in order to find the place a village leader should come with us. Now the intersting part was that this leader was busy in a wedding. So we waited for him in this road for about one hour. I was facinated with the trees and the general settings so I took about 20 shots. I selected this one as Ilike the little kid coming from below.

Dear rolando
is a fantastic view with amazing panorama and stunning colors.Without the man in down part of picture this photo would be very dull. Best regards ihsan

Hej Rolando,
Kul med en berättelse runt bilden, vilket ökar försteålsen för motiv och omgivningar.

Skärpan och motivet är bra men den gröna tonen känns lite väl skarp. För övrigt får jag önska dig en skön helg!

Nice shot Rolando. Love those trees along the road side. They almost look like miniature Baobab trees...

The bright shades of green look great against the sparse looking hills. The boy in the photo really creates a good focal point and gives the feeling of being somewhere exotic. The woman in the photo blends in really good - I almost missed her - which is actually good, not taking anything away from the boy. A really interesting shot. The landscape is very unusual in this one.

Great work.
John

Hej Rolando,
Vilket fint och märkvärdigt landskap. Snygg komposition med killen som kommer uppför backen. Eritrea är verkligen vackert.
Ha det bra,
Gert

Hola Rolando,
sigues fascinándome con tu mirada. Tienes una manera de verlo todo y de encuadrar que me gusta mucho. En este caso, además, el verde de la vegetación destaca muchísimo en la foto. Y la figura del niño le da más vida todavía. Gracias por compartirla. Rafa.

Hola Rolando, the blur effect works good here, these tress they look stunning and very good composed with the man walking and an other figure on the left side.
Cheers
Evan
