Armenian Boys Photo

Photographer’s Note

We were visiting Noraduz, on the shores of Lake Sevan, famous for its khatchkars (stones with one side carved in form of crosses khatch - cross + kar -stone) Suddenly this "football team" emerged from behind the stones. They were shy at first, but then suddenly they posed for a photograph. They were all very proud little boys.

Merhaba Sayat,

I like very much how the B&W suits this photo.

The contrast and light look very good and the expressions on the boys' faces are nice and natural.

I know that this is exclusively of personal preference (and comes from someone who does not frame his own photos), but I think that in this case the colored frame is a little distracting.

Best regards, selamlar,
Carlos

Merhaba,
En sevdiğim insan manzaralarından biri. Çocuklar ve direkt bakışlarına bayılıyorum hele hele s/b bir karede...
Güzel bir çalışma... Ellerine sağlık...
Selamlar

Hi Sayat,

I really love this shot. You could really see who of the boys that is the gang leader. Very nice with a B& W photo.

Cheers,

Ulf

Dear Sayat
A nice group portrait. B&W works well with the light/shadow play on the boys. But I'll nitpick about the frame. A simple black frame would have worked better IMO.
