Salut Marc,
Un très beau portrait, l'intensité du regard est très forte comme le détail de cette peau d'enfant qui semble totalement sèche et déshydratée.
Une photo très impressionnante qui nous interroge.
Un beau témoignage, bravo
Diane

It is an excellent portrait. The sharpness is superb as the colours are too. The boy’s eyes and expression are the great sufferance for a little person. Very moving. Well done.

Bonjour Marc,

Interesting really close portrait. I like the 'roughness' of the elements on the boy's skin and that one big tooth sticking out. Just a thought: the bottom lip is very red: extra saturation or is it natural?

Great portrait from a wonderful country.

Benny

Hi Marc,
such a pleasure to see this lovely portrait in its original and authentic pose. The boy is so innocent and you have shown the details in great light.
The exposure and dof is indeed very effective and outstanding. Well thought shot with good skill.

Regards,
Foozi
