Dreams, a photo from Herat, West

Photographer's Note

It made me think that perhaps he was thinking of a just world in which he appeared running around and playing in the streets of a country fair and free.

A greeting.

This photo has all the details for a story of hard life,see her hand and the sole of her plastic sandal,the sunlight on it is not lying and telling the true...
I wish I could see her face.
This is good journalistic work Jorge.

hello Jorge,

I like this photo a lot, the beautiful delicate blue of the headscarfs creates quite a contrast with the soles of her shoes. the way the child has fallen asleep in the mother's arms shows his complete trust in her, I find it very touching. the only thing that distracts me a little is the bright patch in the background, I wonder if working with separate layers you could darken it a little. not a major point though.
excellent work, my compliments.

best,
Kristine
