Galeb Boy Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Here's another photo from Omorate. Last time I posted a photo of an old woman (though I don't know how old - Life expectancy in Ethiopia is only 40 years!) Here's a photo of a young boy.

Paker commented that my last photos was lacking color. In a sense he was right, but it's true to the scene. Omorate is shades of brown, black and tan. Here's a photo that's almost completely devoid of color - but again true to the scene.

But actually I like the absence of colours in that picture ! Instead of black and white this is black and braun, and I am captivated by the look and smile of this boy.
Just a pity that the photo seems to lack sharpness.

Bonsoir Adam.
Magnifique visage avec des yeux pétillants. C'est vraiment une réussite.

I think the reduced colour range sets this picture apart. I like this little boy's expression and the contrast of his tteth, mouth, necklace and eyes against the rest of the picture.
