[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The circle of civilization becomes tighter and tighter for Maasai to preserve their original way of life. More and more tourists come to visit them. Rural development presses their traditional places of pastures. Lastly the Green Peace prevent hunting lions :) For how long will they manage to stay ancient and unique?

Nice picture, he looks to be very deep in thought and a bit sorrowful. The texture in the picture is great and black & white works well, but I find the figures in the background a little distracting.

Bonjour Sergey
Très beau portrait. Je pense qu'un format carré serait mieux adapté et permettrait de supprimer la forme humaine à l'arrière plan qui attire trop l'oeil
Happy new year

Good portrait. Desaturation works well. Composition is nicely "closed" with the figure in background.

I think this photo is underrated.... the focusing is spot on and the concept reminds me of Sebastiao Salgado's work. please keep up the good work!
