Hi Swiatek,
The POV is well choosen in that compo and I like the way you caught the eyes of that young girl...Nice colors, good sharpness, contrast and framing.
All the best,

Hello Swiatek
Very nice angle capturing the expression of this young man.
I have fond memories of TUrmi staying in one of the fe hotels in town to avoid camping during the unexpected rains. We were afraid not to be able to cross the river to leave town.
As you are a guide maybe you can tell me: WHy do hammer men wear basketball shirts of the same colour?
Regards
Daniel

no Swiatek, wreszcie tym zdjeciem wracasz do formy, to jest stary dobry Nygus, z jego zebem, z jego spojrzeniem, z jego stylem (bo mysle ze o stylu mozna tu juz mowic); jak to sie stalo ze Twoj model(ka) tak wdziecznie patrzy w obiektyw i nie wyciaga dloni po kilka birrow? super fotka!

A very beautiful portrait with an interesting POV. The eyes are very expressive and the position, half abandoned, half unflinching, is full of sensuality too. The colors and contrasts are very well done and the composition pretty good, with this lonely shoe on the side. I am surprised this photo didn't attract more attention, because its quality deserves it! But it seems that pictures from Africa don't get as much attention as the pictures from Asia. Which is the sad reflection of what happens in the daily life of the world.
Congratulations for this photo.
Regards, Marine
