Photographer’s Note

A participant in the mother of all Philippine festivals, the Kalibo Ati-atihan in the province of Aklan. After weeks of dancing and drumming, the Ati-atis by now, in their 6th official day of roaming the streets of Kalibo are running under pure adrenaline. His eyes show it. Other participants in this festival, held to honor the Philippine native people called the Ati, can be found here and here .

Hello Ken,
I really like the far-away look in this boy's eyes. You've exposed the shot perfectly to capture the black face. The background is a little cluttered... fortunately it is still fairly blurry but I think f/11 was maybe a little too narrow.
I did a very simple workshop applying an unsharp mask to bring out a little more detail.
Thanks. Lewis.
