[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Tsavo West in Kenya - sitting on the side of the dirt road I spotted this carefree child, and approached him for a couple of photos. I gave him a toy first, and he was most happy.
PP: Some desaturation work using Lightroom, and some edge vignetting.

Hi David,
You have found some sweet characters on your trip and this little boy is no exception. He presents you with a lovely smile and pose. I love the textured background, and the sepia colouring makes it look like a photo from someones childhood long ago.
Regards
Wanda

Oh I could take this little guy home :) He is VERY sweet!! He has such a nice little face and expression. A really beautiful portrait!! TFS

Hello David,

Glad to read you gave him a little reward for the pictures. He is a cute guy indeed and the image is very well composed. The PP done to the image is very good in my opinion. The sepia colours look nice and enhance the mood of the moment. Nice work David.

Hi David, nice portrait, happy expression of the guy, and you could get the brightness of his eyes. Just one thing, it's a pity that you've cut his hands and feet. Anyway, good picture. Chau chau,

Dave,
I miss a few of your very nice shots while travelling. I like this one with such a fun charactor he is. I like the sepia like quality of the color, very muted with a timeless quality about it. Simply lovely image with a cute little model. Thanks Dave.
