Welcome in TrekEarth!!!
Good start I would say.
Interesting portrait of interesting man. I like his make up, hat, and stuff arround head. Nice colours and light.
One thing : his face is a bit out of sharpness and contrast, anyway very good start in TE.

Welcome!
It's very nice picture, very expressive face.

Excellent portrait, tight cadrage wors good.
Brawo.
Best wishes

Welcome on TE, Karolien!
Excellent close portrait of this Bororo man.
Your image is great but I wanted to try a Ws to enhance the sharpness and to make it a bit darker...
Really a little as your image was already very good.
A smile

Hello Karolien,
This is a beautiful portrait, and this man's face really draws me in. I like the tight cropping and all of the details you have captured. Welcome to TE!

Hi Karoliend,

Really nice,you did a nice trip i imagine!

Another one great portrait from Niger! I am always looking forward to photos from this fascinating country, and none of those you've posted here dissapoint. Fantastic, bring on more of it!

I think that this is a wonderful portrait! The image needs to be a little sharper and maybe some levels need to be worked on a bit to bring out some more contrast in the face, but that is about it. It is a really great shot!
