Photographer’s Note
He works at a Grain and Seed Supplier in Bethlehem. It is hard work. The seed bags are heavy. His pride and joy are his gold teeth and the cell phone. Many, many seed bags were carried to afford those.
Technical: Changed hue, cropped and resized.

Hi Irmgard,
This is a nice portrait natural frame with the sack on the mans head. The golden teeth makes an extra touch to the pisture. The sacks in the background gives a hint of what he is carrying. A good composition!
Thanks

Hi Irmgard
Like very much this portrait of hard working man and his atributes of wellfare (as he understands it) - very touching. I think it's really very good and interesting piece of reportage photo. Well composed and nice in colours also.

well spotted kessi, the 'golden smile' is unmistakable. I'd like to see more of his right arm (on the left), but possibly if you'd include any more detail in the image the facial expression would not really be the main feature anymore. For interest's sake, I wonder if an even lower f-stop would get rid of background detail, to blur it a bit. Well done!
kind regards
Wilmotz

Hi Irmgard,
very curious shot of modern Africa, something different by landscapes, desert, animals, traditional dances...Really a good reportage!
