Watching people passing..., a photo from Mandalay, North

Photographer's Note

I'll return to the old tower, but before that I'll post a couple of older photos.
I saw this little boy in Mandalay. He was standing at the door of a little store, just watching people passing on the little road.

Hello Ana,
Very nice capture of this cute little boy in his typical costume.
Good format which fits well to your compo.
He does not look to the photographer but for shure he has noticed here.
The door at back is a nice sample of traditional craft.
TFS and have a nice weekend

hi Ana,
Very nice portrait of this little guy. I like the stance that he has, and the expression on his face makes him look older than his years. The wooden panel is a great backdrop too, making his costume stand out really well.
All the best
Noel

Hello Ana,
a very attractive portrait of the little child watching the movement on the road in front of the shop. He is perfectly integrated in the context you have placed him in, sharpness and depth are marvellous. I like very much the way you've managed the soft light and harmonious colours, the textures are very natural and the robust tree trunk supports the composition and the leaning child superbly. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Ciao Ana
bellissimo ritratto, il bambino si è fatto fotografare con molta tranquillità, belli i colori, ma avrei preferito un taglio più stretto per mettere ancora più in rilievo la figura.
Saluti
Carlo

Hello Ana,
A splendid portrait and daily life-picture of this small boy, acting a little bit like an adult I think.
I also like the wooden braiding on the door behind him. Slightly infringed but still a beautiful typical artwork.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ana,
The litle boy is quite charming. The way he is leaning against the tree is a bit funny but he makes a good parallel to the bamboo stick left by the door. His lunghi is a bit carelessly but very elegantly wrapped. This is a very nice picture with a very pleasant light.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ola Ana, the boy in his longyi although so small, looks like a brown up, so serious is his look. Excellent portrait. Interesting door. Warm regards

nice the view of the little boy as pose so charmy in front of your lens.I like the light and the colour management as the clarity and the sharpness of the scene.

Hola Ana.
Un retrato precioso de este niño, que tiene una expresion tan atenta, mirando con atencion hacia un punto, ideal verle asi tan pequeño con el traje tradicional de su pais.
Magnífica luminosidad y perfecta nitidez.
Un esplendido trabajo.
Pasa un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hello Ana,

Well, I must admit, I find 'people watching' an interesting activity!
The tree trunk is an important element in your photograph; it anchors the f/g and gives a comparative link to the smaller child, who makes a wonderful focal image, full of thoughtful contemplation.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ana,
He is such a cute little boy. I do like the way that he is leaning on the tree watching you. The colours and lighting are very attractive. Very sharp.
Excellent image.
Kind Regards, Ann

lovely light and tones, and great expression from this little man. I think I would have been tempted to crop the top a little and get rid of the half plastic bags hanging up. You could have cropped the right hand side to keep the balanced shape without losing anything

Hi Ana,
lovely child photo. I am recently into child photography by default as I have a baby.
Nice capture here in an interesting scenery and in a great pose.
Very well done,
M

Hello Ana.
I like the way this boy is clad in an oversize sarong. The woven bamboo door and his expression are just stunning in this fine composition.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
Jusni

ana

o menino está muito bem colocado, até as linhas verticais criam uma espécie de moldura. a luz indireta é fabulosa e ele está bem natural. um lindo retrato, belo trabalho, se fosse um moleque andino te pediria uma propina, se fosse um marroquino te olharia furioso. haha.

abraços

jorge

you captured him in such a spontaneous pose.....neatly dressed with a neckless.
I also like the style of the door behind.
All together a fantastic composition.
