Papua Kid

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Dani people, also spelled Ndani, are a people from the central highlands of Western New Guinea (the Indonesian province of Papua, comprising the larger Eastern part of the former province Irian Jaya).
They are one of the most populous tribes in the highlands, and are found spread out through the highlands. The Dani are one of the most well-known ethnic groups in Papua, due to the relatively numerous tourists who visit the Baliem Valley area where they predominate.
The photo
Taken nearby the small airport, at Wamena city, on the center highland of Papua. This kid, like other Dani's people in the city are well dressed. Next, I will post the Dani's people in the valley that still wearing their traditional clothes. |

Hi Bima,
You got a nice portrait of the Dani kid, the framing and POV aare good, and the narrow dep^th of field isolqtes him well from the neutral background.
Best regards
Laurent

Hi Bima
Modern ways of life are everywhere. I notice the plastic bottle of water, like in any city in the world.
