The Desert Gypsy Boy's Friend Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is another lad that was in the group that strolled into our camp early in the morning. We were camped by a well in the middle of the desert, so it turned out to be a busy place that morning. Its also possible, that the kids had heard we were camped there, and came out of curiosity.

I have included a second photo of this pair in the workshop. I made the decision to photohop this lads face. You can see in the workshop that he must have scraped himself somehow.

A mild light on his face, expressive eyes, a gentle smile + technical quality, sharpness, bokeh ...
Quite enough ingredients for a good shot Steve

Hi Steve

With these two fellows, you found moving models! The expression here, so sweet-sour, is touching and the grace, along with the veil of sadness that passes on his face, is disconcerting. The soft hues of colors are on the same vein.
Excellent sharpness and bokeh. Bravo.
Regards
Marine
