Photographer’s Note

They really come running, after almost every possible friendly tourist visiting their hometown. The site is at one of the lookout point overlooking a volcanic crater top. The day was foggy so there wasn't much of a view, but the selling goes on for their everyday livelihood.

I took a picture of them, and they then persist that we have to buy from them. I turned them down politely (there were simply too many of such selling), and they finally retreated back to their "group". They were very amused to be captured on camera nonetheless.

I don´t know why my critique is not here... a bug?
Well: again!
I loved their expressions.. so that I did a workshop to focus them. The composition is a bit centered, IMO.
hope you don´t mind.

It is a bit out of focus in the face and this would have been better if you made the background blur more.

lovina always gets hit the worst from Bali tourists troubles. Those kids are desparate to sell those pencils. I ended up just giving them some money. Some were really sweat.
