| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
For most of the past 100 000 years, South Africa has been inhabited by small, mobile groups of hunter-gatherers called the San Bushmen. The Bushmen are believed to be the descendants of the people who have lived in the subcontinent from time immemorial - their true origins being shrouded in the mists of time.
These mysterious little men called the whole wide expanse of South Africa home, the mountains, deep valleys and wide plains, were all their dwelling places. And, contrary to popular belief, they did not spend their lives wandering around aimlessly. They knew each region well and were able to plan their seasonal wanderings to coincide with the ripening of fruits, berries and roots. |

Hola Oscar
buena composición, con el primer niño ligermente desplazado del centro, enfocado, gracias a la pequeña profundidad de campo creada, que permite darle mas importancia, sin que el resto pierda protagonismo, ya que tambien podemos observar sus caras.
Interesante retrato sobre esta tribu, con rasgos muy característicos.
Que tengas un buen fin de semana.

Bonita foto Oscar, buena nota también. Me gusta la composición con el chico hacia la derecha perfectamente enfocado y los otros tras él menos a foco pero dando más misterio a la foto. Gracias.
